In another bowl stir and dissolve the custard powder in milk that is kept aside.
When the milk starts boiling, reduce the heat and pour the prepared custard powder mix. Stir the milk continuously to prevent custard mixture from sticking at the bottom of the pan.
After 3-4 mins the milk will start to get thick. Stir continuously. Add sugar to the thickened milk and mix well.

Notes
I have used vanilla flavor custard powder, you can use mango flavor custard powder to enhance the flavor.
I have used whole milk you can also use low fat millk.
Always dissolve the custard powder in milk before adding to the boiled milk.
Gradually add dissolved custard powder milk mixture to the boiling milk at medium heat and stir continuously to avoid sticking at the bottom of the pan.
Let the custard set at room temperature before adding mango puree to it. Stir while it is cooling at room temperature to avoid the formation of cream layer on top. If you want you can blend and sieve the custard once cool to make it smooth.
The mango used should be sweet and fleshy. If it has threads, strain the pureed mango pulp.
You can use fresh or frozen mango pulp and cubes.
Always chill the custard before serving.
you can add other cut fruits such as grapes, pomegranate, apple.
