Left-over custard and fruit

Custard is a traditional kiwi dessert. But add some fruit to left-over custard and you've got a breakfast that will have the kids ready to power through the day. Make extra custard the night before and save some for breakfast.

Cooking directions

Custard and fruit for breakfast:

• Serve custard warm or cold. If serving warm, reheat for a couple of minutes in the microwave.
• Add left-over custard to your favourite fresh or canned fruit.

To make custard for 4 people:

• Mix ¼ cup low-fat milk with 2 tablespoons custard powder and 2 teaspoons brown sugar. Stir until forms a smooth paste.
• Pour 1 ¾ cups of low-fat milk into a saucepan. Bring to the boil. Stir often so it doesn't burn.
• When the milk is boiling, take off heat and pour in the custard paste. Stir well.
• Serve custard warm or cold.

Tip:

• Canned or frozen fruit is just as good for you as fresh (and sometimes cheaper) - look out for specials at the supermarket.
