Notes
Since we are adding fruits, the above-mentioned amount of sugar is good enough for this quantity. But you can also adjust the sugar to your taste.
Do not make your custard very thin. Fruit custard thins out once you add the fruits since the fruits release a bit of water.
Mix the custard and fruits, refrigerate together for a few hours for the best tasting fruit custard.
