Blueberry Custard With Blueberry Sauce




Everyone in my home loves dessert after each meal & I love simple & quick to make desserts. This one took me just half an hour & loved by all. Going to make it with mango next :)

Ingredients (serves 4)
For Custard
1 tbsp custard powder
1 1/4 cups milk
1/2 cup white chocolate chopped (or use chips)
1 1/2 tbsp blueberry sauce 

For Blueberry Sauce
1/2 cup blueberry 
2 tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp lemon juice

Method
For Custard
In a small saucepan combine the custard powder with a little of the milk to form a smooth paste. Add remaining milk.
Stir over a medium heat until the custard begins to thicken, reduce the heat & simmer for 1 minute stirring continually.
Remove from the heat & stir in the white chocolate until all the pieces have melted.
Keep aside to cool.

For Blueberry Sauce
Combine sugar & berries & cook on slow flame while stirring continuously.
Mash berries while cooking.
Add lemon juice.
Remove from flame & keep aside to cool completely.

How To Proceed
Add blueberry sauce to cool custard & mix well.
Take shot glasses or small bowls & fill them with custard, leaving space for sauce.
Keep in refrigerator to set for about 30 minutes.
Take out & layer blueberry sauce.
Garnish with grated white chocolate.
Refrigerate for an hour.
Serve chilled.

Tips
* If there are lumps in your custard then just sieve it.
* No sugar has been added to custard, as it's already there in chocolate & sauce, but if you feel the need then add 2 tsp sugar while cooking.
* Can use strawberry in place of blueberry.
* You can replace the white chocolate for milk chocolate or dark chocolate but the colour will blend with blueberry.
* You can just make custard without fruits & serve with Danish pastries, puddings or pies or add cut fruits to get a yummy fruit custard.
* You can make strawberry sauce too in same way. Keep extra sauce in freezer for later use.
