Tropical Fruit Natilla Custard
Ingredients
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup Cotoperi strawberry banana puree
- 1 egg yolk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons sugar (optional)
- 1 pinch salt
Preparation
Pour all ingredients into a medium pot and mix until homogeneous.
Cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon in circular motions, until thickened to desired consistency, about 5-10 minutes.
Remove from heat, pour into a container, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours until cold and firm.
Tips and variations
Experiment with different fruit purees such as apple, soursop, mango, or guava to add your tropical twist.
Decorate with a sprinkle of cinnamon powder, a fresh mint leaf, or some lemon or orange zest before serving.
Ensure the cornstarch is well dissolved in the cold milk before cooking. If lumps appear, strain the custard through a fine sieve after cooking.
