Step 1

Add icing sugar, milk powder, cornstarch, vanilla powder, and yellow food color powder to a medium-size mixing bowl.

Step 2

Mix well using a wire whisk or a spoon.

Step 3

If the vanilla powder is not available, skip adding it. You can add some vanilla extract while making the custard instead.

Step 4

Transfer the mixture to a clean and dry glass jar and store it in a cool and dry place.

Step 5

To make a warm and creamy custard, heat 250 ml of whole milk in a pan over medium-low heat.

Step 6

Stir together 2 tablespoons of custard powder and ¼ cup of chilled milk to make a lump-free mixture. If there are lumps in the mixture, pass it through a fine-mesh strainer.

Step 7

Add the vanilla extract and the yellow food color if you have not added these two while making the powder. If added, then skip this step.

Step 8

Pour this mixture slowly into the pan with the milk and stir continuously until the custard thickens.

Step 9

Remove the pan from heat and cover it using a cling wrap to avoid the formation of a cream layer on top.

Step 10

Chill the custard and serve with fresh fruits and jelly.
