Rose Flavored Fruit Custard is a refreshing, indulgent dessert that combines the richness of a traditional fruit custard with the delicate floral notes of rose. This dessert is both vibrant and soothing, offering a smooth, creamy texture and a subtle fragrance that elevates the fruit flavors to something special. It’s perfect for special occasions, family gatherings, or when you simply want a light yet luxurious treat.
The base of the custard is made with milk, sugar, and a hint of vanilla or cardamom. Once it’s thickened to a velvety consistency, a few drops of rose water or rose essence are added to infuse the custard with its signature floral flavor. The rose water enhances the natural sweetness of the custard, giving it an elegant fragrance and a hint of exotic sweetness.
Once the custard is made, it’s cooled to room temperature and then chilled in the fridge. After chilling, the custard becomes smooth, rich, and refreshingly cool, perfect for a warm weather dessert or as a comforting treat at the end of a meal.
To finish, fresh, seasonal fruits like mango, bananas, apples, pomegranate, and grapes are chopped and added to the custard. The mix of sweet, tangy, and juicy fruits contrasts beautifully with the creamy custard base, offering a balance of textures and flavors. The rose water adds a light, aromatic sweetness that pairs perfectly with the natural flavors of the fruits.
For added elegance, you can garnish the custard with chopped pistachios, almonds, or a few petals of edible rose for a beautiful, fragrant presentation.
Rose Flavored Fruit Custard is easy to make and can be customized with your favorite fruits. It’s a refreshing and light dessert that feels luxurious without being too heavy, making it perfect for summer parties, festive gatherings, or a simple after-dinner treat.

A simple recipe. I added some coconut and it turned out great! 🌴
Custard! My mom used to make it, this recipe reminds me of her, thank you!
Super easy to follow! I added some kiwi too, turned out great!
I tried this recipe but the custard was too thick. I think I added too much custard powder. 🙁
Ugh, yeah that happens! But did you know custard can be thin or thick depending on how it’s made? Just a tiny bit less powder would help.
Maybe try using less custard powder next time? It’s easy to mess that up. I’ve done it too. Just gotta pay more attention! 🙃
Where do I even find rose water? Is it something I can grab at a regular store?
You can usually find rose water in the ethnic section of your grocery store or at specialty stores. Sometimes they have it in health food stores too!
I don’t know where to find that! Can’t you just use regular water? Seems the same to me.
THIS RECIPE IS FAKE! Custard can’t taste like roses! What’s next? Lemon flavored potatoes?
I used full cream milk which made it super rich. Loved it! 😋
I don’t like the flavor of rose… can I just skip it? What will happen?
Why do you add rose water? It smells weird to me. Not a fan of floral flavors.
I don’t think mixing fruits is a good idea. They taste strange together.
This was heavenly! The rose flavor is subtle but wonderful. Will definitely make again!
Tasty! But I don’t get the whole cherry syrup thing. It’s optional for a reason, right?
I dunno, cherry syrup makes it look fancy! But I ain’t a fan of cherries honestly, so I just skip it.
I totally agree! Cherry syrup isn’t necessary, but it’s a nice touch if you like it. Just think how sweet it would be without it, though!
Yum! Great recipe. I used strawberries instead of pomegranate, still delicious!
Stawberry sounds good! Gonna try that next time. Thanks for the tip!
I dunno, pomegranate is the best part! Strawberries? Really?
This is amazing! The rose water flavor makes it so unique.
Yummy! My kids loved it. I used strawberries instead of cherries though!
This is easy to make but don’t put in too much sugar! It becomes super sweet!
Totally agree! I added only a tablespoon of sugar and it was perfect. Too much makes it sickly sweet.
I’m not sure about the rose water. It sounds weird. Can you taste it much?
I tried it but it didn’t turn out right. The custard didn’t thicken. What did I do wrong?
What kinda fruits can I use? Only apples and grapes? Seems limited.
Can you really use any fruits? I tried with oranges and it was kinda weird…won’t do that again.
Do you really need rose water? I find it kinda weird. Just use vanilla, way better.
Lol I forgot to put sugar. So it was super weird tasting… never again. 1 star!
Too complicated for me! I think I’ll stick to plain custard, thanks! 😅
I was skeptical at first, but this custard turned out great. Just a bit too sweet for my taste.
This was so delicious! I loved the rose water flavor. Perfect for a summer dessert!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! The rose water really adds a unique touch, doesn’t it? Perfect for summer indeed!
I tried this recipe, but it turned out too sweet. Maybe less sugar next time?
Absolutely delicious! The rose water gives it such a unique flavor. My family loved it.
My mom used to make this all the time when I was a kid. Brought back memories! ❤️
Such a lovely memory! This recipe sounds delicious, I gotta try it! 🌹
So easy to make! I used frozen mixed fruits and it was still delicious!
I didn’t have cherry syrup, so I skipped it. Still turned out tasty, but I think the syrup would have made it better.
This recipe is amazing! The rose flavor adds such a unique touch. My family loved it.
I’m glad you enjoyed it! The rose water really does make it special. 🍮
Rose flavor? Sounds weird. Do people really like that? 🤔
Just made this for my family and they loved it! Definitely making again. 🌹
That sounds delicious! I’ll have to try it out. Thanks for sharing! 😊
I think you mixed the instructions up. I’m not good in the kitchen but I managed somehow. Not bad but could be better.
I’m not a fan of desserts with strong floral tastes like rose. This wasn’t for me! 😖
Custard is so easy peasy to make! Just mix and chill, right? Can totally do this with my kids.
I don’t really get the rose water thing. It tasted weird to me. Maybe I messed up the recipe?
I didn’t have nuts, so I skipped them. Still great! But I think the nuts would add something.
I think you’re right! The nuts definitely give it that extra crunch. But hey, at least it was still tasty! 😊
Not bad, but I felt like something was missing. Maybe a touch more sugar?
It’s just alright. Wish it said how to serve it better; I didn’t know if I was supposed to eat it warm or cold.
Looks delicious but I’m not a fan of rose water. Can I use vanilla instead?
Custard yummm!
OMG, I love custard too! This looks so good, can’t wait to try it! 🌟
Rose water? Isn’t that just weird? I don’t know if I would like that in my custard.
Honestly, I find the idea of mixing rose flavor with fruits weird. But the kids loved it. 🤷♂️
Yum! I never knew fruit and rose could go together. Will make this again for sure.
I agree! The rose water adds such a unique flavor! It’s surprisingly refreshing.
Hmm, not sure about the rose water. Fruits are already sweet, why complicate it?
What’s custard powder? Can I just use flour instead? 🤔
Fruit in a custard? Yasss! This is like a party in my mouth! 🎉
This is the best custard ever! The rose flavor makes it so unique. 5 stars!
Not sure about rose water in custard. Isn’t that just weird? I might stick to vanilla…
I tried this recipe last week and it was delicious! My family loved it too. The rose flavor is really something special. Thank you for sharing!
