In a small bowl, mix the custard powder with a quarter cup of milk to make a smooth paste.

Heat the remaining milk in a saucepan, and when it’s warm, add the sugar and vanilla extract, stirring until the sugar dissolves.

Pour the custard paste into the warm milk, whisking continuously to prevent lumps. Cook over medium heat until the mixture thickens. Then, remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Take your serving cups or glasses and create a base layer with crushed biscuits or cookies.

Spoon a layer of the prepared custard over the biscuit base.

Add a generous layer of mixed chopped fruits on top of the custard.

Repeat the layers until the cups are filled, finishing with a layer of custard.

Place the cups in the refrigerator to chill for at least an hour, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Just before serving, add a dollop of whipped cream to each cup and garnish with mint leaves if desired.
