Better Cooking Tips

- Use ripe, in-season fruit for the best flavor and texture.
- Stir the custard constantly while cooking to avoid lumps and ensure smoothness.
- Chill the dessert well before serving to let the flavors meld and the custard set properly.

Step 1

In a bowl, whisk together the milk and vanilla custard powder until smooth and set aside.

Step 2

In a saucepan, heat the milk and sugar over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Add the custard mixture and keep stirring until it thickens. Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.

Step 3

For the jellies, bring water to a boil in separate pans. Add the banana jelly powder to one and the red jelly powder to the other, stirring until fully dissolved. Let both cool to room temperature.

Step 4

Mix water and sugar in a small bowl, whisking until the sugar is completely dissolved to make a simple syrup.

Step 5

To assemble, layer cake slices in a dish and drizzle them with the sugar syrup. Pour the cooled banana and strawberry jelly over the cake.

Step 6

Spread a layer of the cooled custard on top, then add banana slices, apple pieces, fruit cocktail, and strawberry slices. Cover with another layer of custard.

Step 7

Finish by drizzling cream over the top, sprinkling crushed chocolate, and placing a cherry in the center. Serve and enjoy!

Serving Ideas For Every Meal

Serve chilled in individual bowls or glasses, garnished with a sprig of mint or a few extra fruit pieces. It pairs wonderfully with a cup of tea or coffee for a delightful afternoon treat.

How To Store For Later

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within 2-3 days. Avoid freezing, as the custard may separate and lose its creamy texture.
