• If you cannot source custard powder, you can use corn flour or arrow root powder to make custard and add vanilla extract to flavor it.
• Add honey to the custard sauce only when it cools down completely.
• Do not add citrus fruits to the custard as it may turn bitter.
• Vegans may use any plant based milk like almond or soy milk to make this custard and replace honey with coconut sugar or other sweetener of choice.
• Use good quality custard powder which is free of artificial flavorants and colors.
• Chop the fruits very finely while serving to small babies to prevent choking hazards.

This custard can be made and kept in refrigerator for a day without adding fruits. Once you add the fruits to the custard consume it the same day. Add honey to the custard when it is cooled to room temperature. Custard powder is made up of corn starch and vanilla extract. Try to use good quality custard powder free from artificial additives, but if you can’t seem to find it, you can use corn flour or arrow root powder to make custard and add vanilla extract to flavor it. Vegans may use any plant based milk like almond or soy milk to make this custard and replace honey with coconut sugar or any other sweetener of choice.
