I love to eat and serve this cold dessert in the summer time! I am sure everyone will enjoy this colourful, delectable dish!

Ingredients

3 cups whole or 2% milk
2 tbsp custard powder – vanilla or as you like
Sugar to taste
8 small sized gulab jamuns – room temperature or a little warm if you want a hot/cold taste
Few drops of roohafza (can be found in Indian stores)
For garnish – pistachio and almond slices
Optional: grapes pomegranate seeds,mango and strawberry

Directions

Start a heavyweight pan at medium heat.
Add the milk, then take a bowl and add ⅓ cup of water and custard powder. Mix and keep aside.
When the milk is hot, add the custard powder mix, and wait until boil.
Check the consistency – we need it to be a little thick. Remember when it’s cold, the custard thicken more.If it’s watery, add more custard powder.
Now, add sugar and stir.
Then keep inside the fridge for about 3 to 4 hours or more.
Take a serving bowl and add the custard milk and 2 gulab jamuns.
Garnish with pistachios and almonds. If you want fruit, add at this time.
Finally, add a few drops of roohafza.
Enjoy!
