For jelly layer
-
Prepare jelly as per instructions of the packet. You would normally need about 1.5 to 2 cups hot water. Once cool, keep in refrigerator till serving time.
For custard layer
-
Blend custard powder with 3 tbsp milk to form a smooth paste.
-
Put remaining milk to heat. Add sugar to remaining milk and heat till dissolved. When it starts boiling, add custard paste. Stir constantly with a whisk over low-med heat till thickens - a fairly thick yet a pouring consistency but coats back of spoon.
-
Set aside to cool, then refrigerate till serving time.
For fruit layer
-
Chop all the fruits and sprinkle lime juice over them to prevent discoloring. Add dry fruits if adding. Refrigerate till serving time.
At serving time
-
Take a parfait glass or any other serving glass of your choice.
-
Break up the jelly and add a little to the bottom of the glass.
-
Top the jelly with the chopped fresh fruits.
-
Cover the fruits with the chilled custard.
-
Repeat this layer if desired - jelly-fruits-custard. Garnish and serve.
