• Mix the custard and fruits just before serving, because the water comes from the fruits will make the custard thinner.
• You can mix a table spoon of honey also with the fruits.
• Instead of sugar you can use condensed milk to get richer taste and creamier.
• If you use the fruits such as pine apple or oranges, and keep the mixed fruit custard for long time (ie., more than 3 or 4 hours), then there is chance of getting sour taste soon. So be plan and mix accordingly.
