Precautions

Make sure to stir the custard mixture to prevent any lump formation and to give it a smooth texture.
Chill the custard and the fruits properly
Do not use cold milk to dissolve the custard powder. Milk should be warm.
Adding custard powder to boiling milk can also form clumps. So make sure to avoid it.
Always mix the fruits and custards only before serving. Mixing them and refrigerating them together can cause fruits to release moisture that can make the custard runny.
