Chocolate Fruit Custard Recipe – Indian Fruit Salad with Chocolate Custard

Chocolate Fruit Custard Recipe – An easy, quick, delicious and innovative Indian dessert made with cocoa powder, milk and lots of fruits.

Fruit Custard is one of the most delicious and rich Indian desserts and is very easy to make for any occasion. I have already posted the traditional fruit custard which is a mixed fruit salad with vanilla custard sauce. Today’s recipe is a variation with chocolate custard sauce to make the dessert richer.. You can use any of your favorite seasonal fruits except watermelon to make this fruit custard. I’ve used apple, papaya, banana, pomegranate, strawberries, blueberries and raspberries. You can also add a handful of nuts to this chocolate dessert recipe to give little more crunch.

I have prepared this fruit custard recipe without custard powder but you can substitute the corn flour and vanilla essence with vanilla custard powder.
