CUSTARD PUDDING

    Just a Custard Pudding!!! A recipe I would never attempt to make and using just the Custard Powder is out of question.  Few years back my kids happened to eat this Custard Pudding at our friend's place in Malaysia. A locally popular Malaysian Dessert prepared with custard & sweet corn kernels.  Since then they had been pestering me to make this Custard Pudding.  The simplest form of a pudding, the basic.
     I usually prepare this Custard Pudding for Fruit Salad, but I have never served it as such before.  Even if it is Custard Pudding I would love to prepare the one from Scratch like the one for Creme Caramel. But if you are craving for something sweet and simple then this Custard Pudding is sure to appease your Sweet Tooth.  If you are looking for an easy dessert, then nothing could be better than this Custard Pudding.  This Custard Pudding can also be served along with Fruit Salad, or simply cook it up with Caramel for a simple Caramel Custard Recipe.
     This is a basic recipe prepared with ready made Custard Powder, Milk & Sugar.  Few ingredients, less cooking time and few hours of setting time in refrigerator - there you go with one of the simplest but tastiest Dessert.  Serve this Custard Pudding topped with few Cherries or Strawberries for an old fashioned treat.

NOTES:

• Adjust the amount of Sugar to suit your sweet preference.         
• This Custard Pudding is mildly sweetened.
