Instant Fruit Rabdi in Minutes! Custard Fruit Salad Recipe

A quick and creamy Indian dessert, Instant Fruit Rabdi combines thickened milk (rabdi), custard, and fresh fruit for a refreshing and indulgent treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 500 ml full-cream milk
  • 3 tbsp custard powder (vanilla flavor)
  • 4 tbsp sugar
  • 1 cup mixed seasonal fruits (banana, apple, mango, grapes, pomegranate)
  • 2 tbsp chopped nuts (almonds, pistachios, cashews)
  • 1/2 tsp cardamom powder
  • A pinch of saffron strands (optional)
  • 2 tbsp raisins (optional)

Instructions

  1. Pour the milk into a heavy-bottomed pan and bring to a gentle boil, stirring frequently to avoid burning at the bottom.
  2. In a small bowl, mix custard powder with a little cold milk to make a smooth paste. Add this paste to the boiling milk, stirring continuously to avoid lumps.
  3. Add sugar, cardamom powder, and saffron strands (if using). Cook on medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens to a creamy consistency.
  4. Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature. Refrigerate for at least an hour to chill.
  5. Right before serving, mix in the chopped fruits, nuts, and raisins. Garnish with a few saffron strands and serve cold.

Notes

This recipe works best with fresh fruit added at the last minute to retain texture and flavor. Adjust sugar to taste. For a richer version, substitute part of the milk with cream or condensed milk.
