I can never get tired of pampering my son…. specially after a long illness when my son asks for a treat have to give him something special. For a week my baby had fever and almost lost his appetite. It was a tough time for him as well as me too. The moment he recovered the first thing he asked me to make was a custard. Though he always like to relish the regular fruit custard, but this time i thought to stretch a bit and add some breads to make a pudding.
As expected the pudding turned out well and my son enjoyed it completely. The smile on his face and the satisfaction in his eyes made my day and was worth the effort applied. The pudding was completely mouth melting and guilty free :p
The soggy breads layered with custard n nuts made it absolutely divine. Just added some tooti fruity to make it more interesting. U can even layer various fruits like apple, banana, grapes etc. or add some jam or jelly. I chose to keep it simple yet fancy.
