Ingredients

  • The "Creamy" Custard Base:
  • 1/2 cup Puffed Water Lily Seeds Fox Nuts/Makhana
  • 10 –12 Raw Cashews
  • 10 –12 Blanched Almonds peeled
  • 1.5 cups Milk Dairy or high-protein plant milk
  • The Fresh Fruit Medley:
  • 1 medium Apple diced
  • 1/2 cup Grapes halved
  • 1 medium Banana sliced
  • 1 cup Fresh Strawberries sliced
  • Finishers:
  • 1 tsp Honey or sweetener of choice
  • A splash of cold milk to adjust consistency

Instructions

  • The Hydration Step: Place the fox nuts, cashews, and blanched almonds in a bowl. Pour 1 cup of the milk over them and soak for at least 30 minutes. This ensures a velvety, non-gritty texture.
  • Fruit Preparation: Wash, peel, and dice the apple, banana, grapes, and strawberries into uniform bite-sized pieces. Place them in a large serving bowl.
  • The High-Speed Blend: Transfer the entire soaked nut-and-milk mixture into a blender. Add the remaining 1/2 cup of milk and blend on high until the mixture is perfectly smooth and looks like thick custard.
  • The Sweetening: Stir a teaspoon of honey or your favorite low-calorie sweetener into the blended base. Taste and adjust sweetness as needed.
  • Assembly: Pour the creamy nut base over the bowl of cut fruits.
  • Texture Adjustment: If the mixture is too thick, stir in a little extra cold milk until it reaches a traditional custard "coating" consistency.
  • Chill & Serve: For the best experience, refrigerate for 15 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld.
