Custard Bread Delight

Ingredients

• 2 slices bread
• 1 tablespoon custard powder (vanilla or flavor of your choice)
• 2 cups milk
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 tablespoon caramel syrup
• 1 teaspoon hazelnut syrup
• 6-8 almonds
• Vanilla ice cream (for topping) or I have topping falooda ice cream

Steps

1. Prepare the Custard Mixture: In a small bowl, add custard powder. Boil the milk in a saucepan. Once the milk starts boiling, pour a few tablespoons of hot milk into the custard powder. Mix well until smooth and lump-free. Toast the Bread: Cut the bread slices in half.
2. Heat a tawa or non-stick pan. Add butter. Once the butter melts, place the bread slices and toast them until light golden brown on both sides. Remove the toasted bread and place them in a shallow serving dish.
3. To the remaining milk in the pan, add the custard mixture and stir continuously. Simmer for a few minutes until it thickens slightly. Grind the almonds coarsely—not into a fine powder.
4. Add the almond powder, caramel syrup, and hazelnut syrup to the custard. Mix well.
5. Assemble the Dessert: Pour the warm flavored custard over the toasted bread in the serving dish. Let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until chilled.
6. Serve: Before serving, top each piece with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Optionally, drizzle extra caramel or sprinkle more crushed almonds on top.
