Fruit pudding

There are times when you have a lot of fruits lying in the fridge and there walks a guest with a bagful of fresh fruits. Don't worry of them right away. I will like to give you a splendid idea on how best you can feed your guests with a lovely dessert which is ready in like half an hour to 45 minutes inclusive of the setting time in the refrigerator.

It definitely sounds interesting and pretty easy.
Ingredients:
1. Fruits - I had plenty of chikoo and banana. So here goes a recepie I'd narrate with those available fruits.
2. Custard powder - your favourite Flavour. I chose plain vanilla as I thought of complimenting it with a hint of coffee. - 1 cup
3. Marie or glucose biscuits - about 10 to 15 nos.
4. Sugar/Sugar substitute
5. Raisins and Nuts
6. Milk - 2 cups
7. Black Coffee - 1/4 cup
8. Butter - melted - 2 tsp

Method:
1.  Crush the biscuits/grind them in a mixer so that they are in the coarse form.
2.  Mix it with melted butter, 2 tsp of coffee. Pour half of this mixture to make a bottom layer in the pudding bowl.
3.  Add a cup of custard powder into a bowl with 2 cups of milk.
4.  Now boil this milk and custard powder by adding sugar as per taste.[I added about 4 tbsp of castor sugar]
5.  Once it thickens pour the contents over the biscuit layer. Keep this bowl in the fridge for about half an hour.
6.  Scoop out chikoo into small spheres using a round spoon, cut bananas into small rounds to arrange them into the pudding.
7.  Arrange one layer of cut banana.
8.  Now pour the remaining biscuit mixture over the banana layer.
9.  Pour extra black coffee as per your taste balance.
10. Now adde a layer of nuts and raisins[whole or chopped]
11. On the top arrange remaining banana slices and scooped chikoo.

Your fruit pudding is ready to serve. If you are okay for an extra indulgance of coffee, you can have a couple of teaspoons sprinkled on the top layer.

If you need the dessert cold, chill it for another hour or two before you take your first scoop into the serving bowl.

Variations: Different fruits can be used but make sure you compliment the coffee.
                 You can add a layer of fresh cream whisked with sugar and essence of fruit.
                  A layer of chocolate can add the richness that is required.
Please do try with these variations and let me know which was a wow, superb and great. If you find some interesting add ons share them so I could give a try.
