Microwave Eggless Fruit Custard

Recipe Description

I love this recipe for Microwave Eggless Fruit Custard – it is a perfect dessert to make for my kids as one of them has an egg allergy so it can be difficult to find a recipe that suits everyone! 

To make this delicious custard, start by heating milk in the microwave. I usually use reduced-fat milk but any milk is fine. Next I add saffron strands, sugar, and custard powder and heat in the microwave until it starts to thicken. Remove the mixture from the microwave and leave to cool. To serve, I usually add a selection of my favorite chopped seasonal fruits and drizzle some rose syrup over the top. 

To make Microwave Eggless Fruit Custard, you will need the following ingredients:
