Ingredients
- 1 cup red jelly
- 1 cup green jelly
- 1 tin mixed fruit
- 1 small sponge cake
- 3 cups fresh cream
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tsp custard powder
- 4 tsp sugar
- 1 orange
- 1 apple
- 1 cup grapes
- 1 slice pineapple
Instructions
-
Prepare the custard: In a small bowl, mix custard powder with a little cold milk to form a smooth paste. Boil the remaining milk in a saucepan and slowly add the custard mixture while stirring continuously. Add sugar and cook until the custard thickens. Remove from heat and allow it to cool completely.
-
Whip the cream: In a chilled bowl, beat the fresh cream until it turns frothy and light. Keep aside half for layering and half for garnishing.
-
Prepare the fruits: Chop orange, apple, grapes, and pineapple into small bite-sized pieces. Drain the tinned mixed fruit and set it aside.
-
Prepare the base: Cut the cake into small cubes. This will form the soft, spongy base layer of the pudding.
-
Prepare the jelly: Make the red and green jellies according to the packet instructions. Once set, cut them into small cubes.
-
Assemble the pudding: In a large glass bowl or pudding dish, add the cake cubes as the first layer. Top it with chopped fresh fruits, mixed fruits, a layer of custard, half of the jelly cubes, and half of the whipped cream. Mix gently to combine all ingredients without mashing the fruits.
-
Set and chill: Refrigerate the assembled mixture for a few hours until it sets properly and turns firm.
-
Garnish and serve: Before serving, spread the remaining jelly cubes and whipped cream decoratively on top. Optionally, garnish with fruit slices or chocolate shavings for an elegant touch.
-
Enjoy: Serve chilled and enjoy the refreshing, creamy goodness of Fruit Delight Pudding with every colorful spoonful.
Serving Suggestion:
Best served cold after meals or at festive gatherings. You can customize it with seasonal fruits or add a layer of crushed biscuits for extra texture.
