Rose Flavored Fruit Custard

August 8, 2023

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.

In essence, this dessert combines the comfort of creamy custard with the refreshing sweetness of fruits and the delicate, floral essence of rose. It’s a wonderful treat for anyone who loves floral-inspired desserts and is sure to impress with its beautiful appearance and unique flavor profile.

    I tried this recipe but the custard was too thick. I think I added too much custard powder. 🙁

    1. 5 stars
      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.

    2. 4 stars
      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?

    1. User avatar weston.walker says:

      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!

    2. 2 stars
      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?

    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.

    Tasty! But I don’t get the whole cherry syrup thing. It’s optional for a reason, right?

    1. User avatar alan.mraz78 says:

      I dunno, cherry syrup makes it look fancy! But I ain’t a fan of cherries honestly, so I just skip it.

    2. User avatar herman.wintheiser63 says:

      4 stars
      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!

  13. 5 stars
    Yum! Great recipe. I used strawberries instead of pomegranate, still delicious!

    1. 4 stars
      Stawberry sounds good! Gonna try that next time. Thanks for the tip!

    This is easy to make but don’t put in too much sugar! It becomes super sweet!

    1. User avatar marquis.keebler says:

      5 stars
      Totally agree! I added only a tablespoon of sugar and it was perfect. Too much makes it sickly sweet.

  18. 3 stars
    What kinda fruits can I use? Only apples and grapes? Seems limited.

  19. User avatar lee.goodwin11 says:

    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.

    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.

    1. User avatar lulu.satterfield says:

      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?

      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. 🤷‍♂️

      Hmm, not sure about the rose water. Fruits are already sweet, why complicate it?
