Peach Custard, Eggless Peach Dessert recipe - How to make Peach Custard, Eggless Peach Dessert

3 tbsp custard powder
2 tbsp sugar
2 cups milk
6 canned peaches , cut into halves
2 tbsp brown sugar

Method

Combine the custard powder, sugar and 2½ tbsp of milk in a bowl and mix well to make a smooth paste. Keep aside.
Boil the remaining milk in a deep pan, add the custard powder paste and whisk continuously till no lumps remain.
Simmer the custard on a medium flame for 3 to 4 minutes, while stirring continuously. Remove from the flame and keep aside.
Drain the peach halves and arrange them inverted in an ovenproof dish.
Pour the hot custard over the peach halves and sprinkle brown sugar on top.
Bake in a pre-heated oven at 200°c (400°f) for 15 minutes.
Serve immediately.

Handy tip :

Always keep stirring the custard while cooking as it tends to stick to the vessel or form lumps.
Since the pudding is served in the same dish in which it is baked in, use a glass dish and not an aluminium baking dish.
