Custard with jelly

Yet another favorite of my hubby. I make it quite often as it is very simple . Most of the steps are printed in the jelly and custard packets itself, but i generally does a little tweaking here and there.

Custard

Ingredients

Custard Powder - 4 Tablespoons

Milk - 1 ltr

Sugar  - 8 Tablespoons

Method

  

You can use any brand and any flavor for making custard. I personally like Brown&Polson brand. Today i have used vanilla flavor. Take the custard powder in a mixing bowl and add 1/2 cup of milk and dissolve the powder completely in milk. Keep this aside. Heat the remaining milk in medium heat stirring in between. When the milk is hot , add sugar and stir continuously. Once the milk starts to boil, remove it from stove and add the custard mix, stirring the milk while adding. Heat the mix for 2 more minutes and remove it from stove. Allow it to cool and then transfer it to a container and refrigerate it. We like custard a bit thick. If you want to make it more watery, then add only 3 tablespoons of powder instead of 4.

Jelly

This is the easiest part 

Ingredients

Jelly mix - 1 Packet(170g)

Water - 2 cups

Method

Transfer the contents of the jelly packed into a mixing pan. Heat the water and when it boils add it to the mix and stir continuously for 3 to 4 minutes. Allow it to cool to room temperature and then move to a moulding pan if you have one , else transfer it to a glass vessel. Keep the mix in freezer for around 45 minutes and then take it from the pan and cut it to desired shapes and serve with custard or ice cream. If you are not planning to use it immediately then also remove it from freezer and keep the jelly in the bottom section.
