Key Questions Answered
To make the custard apple dessert, you need 2 ripe custard apples, 500 ml full-cream milk, 3-4 tablespoons of sugar, 2 tablespoons of milk powder, 1/2 teaspoon of cardamom powder, 1 tablespoon of ghee, 8-10 cashews, 8-10 almonds, 1 tablespoon of pistachios, 2-3 saffron strands, and 1 tablespoon of hot milk.
First, thoroughly wash the custard apples, cut them, and scoop out all the pulp with a spoon. Gently press the pulp with your hands to separate and completely remove all the seeds, as they are not edible. Leave some pulp chunks to enhance the flavor and texture.
Heat full-cream milk in a heavy-bottomed pan, add milk powder, sugar, and cardamom powder. Reduce the heat to low before mixing in the custard apple pulp, then add roasted nuts and saffron soaked in hot milk. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours after setting, then cut into pieces or serve in bowls.
