Dragon Fruit Custard
Ingredients
- 1 dragon fruit
- 1 stick (1 cup) butter (melted)
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 tbsp vanilla
- 1 pinch salt
- 4 eggs
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350° F.
- Peel & chop the dragon fruit. Cut it in half & the skin should easily pull away.
- In a mixing bowl, mix honey, vanilla, salt, milk, eggs, & butter. Mix thoroughly.
- Add dragon fruit & mix.
- Pour ingredients into a standard pie pan.
- Place in oven for 20 mins. Check it. Look at center to see if it is a jello like consistency. (See Note 2)
- If the center is not thick enough, cook for 10 more mins. Check every 5 to 10 mins after 30 mins total cooking time to ensure you don’t over cook the custard. (See Note 2)
Note 1: The chunks of dragon fruit were kinda big. Feel free to chop them into smaller bite size chunks. That is entirely up to you.
Note 2: You can overcook custard. You probably don’t want to do that. The center is the key. It should ripple some, but not too much. It shouldn’t be solid, but not a liquid either. Comparing it to jello is the best way, I know of, to determine when it is done. I am reminded of the jello’s old jingle, “watch it wiggle, see it jiggle….”
