Instant Fruit Rabdi in Minutes! Custard Fruit Salad Recipe

A quick and delicious version of the classic Indian dessert Rabdi combined with fresh fruits and custard, ready in minutes. This creamy, sweet, and fruity dessert is perfect for any occasion and requires no cooking of thickened milk beforehand.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons custard powder
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/2 cup mixed fresh fruits (apple, banana, grapes, pomegranate, orange segments)
  • 1/4 teaspoon cardamom powder
  • Chopped nuts for garnish (cashews, almonds, pistachios)
  • Ice cubes or chilled milk (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  1. Mix custard powder with 1/4 cup of cold milk to make a smooth paste with no lumps.
  2. In a pan, bring the remaining milk to a boil and add sugar; stir until dissolved.
  3. Reduce the heat and slowly add the custard paste to the boiling milk, stirring continuously.
  4. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until the custard thickens to a rabdi-like consistency while stirring frequently.
  5. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
  6. Add cardamom powder and mix well.
  7. Transfer to a serving bowl and add chopped mixed fruits.
  8. Garnish with chopped nuts and chill if desired before serving.
  9. Serve as is or with chilled milk or ice cubes for a refreshing dessert.

Notes

For best flavor, use fresh, seasonal fruits and adjust sugar according to fruit sweetness. Custard powder can be replaced with vanilla custard mix for a different aroma. Serve immediately or chill for 30 minutes for a cooler treat.
