My mom used to make delicious fruit custard for me when I had cravings. She would add fresh apples and pomegranates to make it healthy. It's completely safe and a lovely comforting treat to have at home.
Honestly, I'm so heavy and tired in my 3rd trimester right now that if someone gives me chilled custard, I'll cry with joy! Yes, custard powder is totally safe, just make sure you boil the milk properly. Just don't ask me to make it, my feet are already swollen!
I had such terrible morning sickness that I couldn't keep anything down, but cold fruit custard with custard powder was a lifesaver! It's soft, easy to digest, and cool on the stomach. Just have it in small portions so you don't feel too full.
It is safe to eat in moderation, but try to make it at home with fresh milk and fruits instead of packaged ones with too many preservatives. Also, if you ever feel heavy acidity or stomach pain after eating sweet things, do check with your doctor.
Oh absolutely safe, and honestly it's the best thing for sweet cravings! I used to make a huge bowl of fruit custard with a little custard powder, milk, and lots of mangoes and berries. Just keep the sugar thoda low, otherwise eat and enjoy!
