Delicious & refreshing chilled drink…
Custard pudding is everyone’s favourite. Some days I prefer a chilled drink with custard & that’s when I make this delicious drink. Every time I make it tweak the recipe by adding different fruits, nuts, etc.
This time, I added pureed apple & dates to the chilled custard along with mixed fruits & nuts. Absolutely scrumptious drink, that’s refreshing as well.
