Layered Custard

The second recipe in line for "No bake recipes" is this layered custard. Custard preparation these days is no big deal. We get ready-made custard powder packets. We just have to boil milk with this custard powder and in minutes custard is ready. This would be a very good dessert for kids and also can be made quickly. I just made a little twist to this by adding some coloring agent and layering it.

Ingredients:

Custard powder ( Vanilla flavor) - 100 grams

Milk - 1 litre

Sugar - 350 grams

Coloring agent - Green, red

Decorative sugar crystals - few

Method:

• Mix the custard powder in about one glass of milk and keep it aside.
• Boil the remaining milk in a thick bottomed vessel.
• Once the milk starts to raise in the vessel, lower the flame. Add sugar and mix well.
• Now add the custard mixture and mix well. Keep stirring till the mixture thickens for about 5 minutes and then switch off the stove.
• Divide the custard into 3 portions. In one portion add a little green color and in another portion add a bit of red color.
• Now in glass cups, layer this custard and refrigerate it for about an hour.
• Decorate it with sugar crystals just before serving.
