Fruit Custard Popsicles

1.In a small bowl, mix the custard powder with 1/4 cup of cold milk to form a smooth paste without lumps.

2.In a saucepan, heat the remaining milk and sugar over medium heat until it is warm but not boiling.

3.Slowly add the custard paste to the warm milk, stirring continuously to avoid lumps.

4.Cook the mixture on low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens to a custard consistency (about 5-7 minutes). Remove from heat.

5.Stir in the vanilla extract and let the custard cool to room temperature.

6.Once cooled, gently fold in the chopped fresh fruits, ensuring even distribution.

7.Pour the custard-fruit mixture into popsicle molds or small paper cups.

8.Insert sticks into the molds or cups and freeze for at least 6 hours or until fully set.

9.To serve, run the molds under warm water for a few seconds to loosen the popsicles, then gently remove them.
