Step 1
Prepare the Custard: In a small bowl, mix custard powder with 1/4 cup of cold milk to make a smooth paste.
Step 2
Bring the rest of the milk and sugar to a boil. Lower the heat and slowly whisk in the custard paste. Stir continuously for 2–3 minutes until it thickens to a coating consistency.
Step 3
Pour the custard into a wide, flat glass dish. Allow it to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours until firm.
Step 4
Decorate (The Rangoli): * Place a cherry on a dollop of cream in the exact center.
Step 5
Arrange kiwi slices in a circular pattern around the center.
Step 6
Place cherries and cream dollops at the outer edges as “compass points.”
Step 7
Finish with pineapple chunks and mint leaves between the outer cherries.
