At the end of a meal our local Indian restaurant usually gives us a simple dessert of tasty Fruit Custard. It's light, sweet, creamy and the perfect ending to a spicy meal. The only thing that I'm not crazy about is that they often use syrupy canned fruits, so I decided to do my own version of this recipe using my favorite locally available fresh berries. This simple recipe is perfect for a quick or last minute dessert. The slightly sweet and creamy custard melds perfectly with the plump ripe berries for a deliciously light sweet treat.

Here is my recipe:
