Are you looking for a quick and delicious dessert that will impress? Mini fruit diplomat is the perfect choice! This simple dessert combines a smooth cream with fresh fruits, creating a contrast of textures and flavors that will delight any palate. Here’s how to prepare it step by step.

Ingredients:
- 500 ml milk
- 150 g sugar
- 4 eggs
- 2 packets of pudding powder (vanilla or preferred flavor)
- 200 ml cream
- 300 g fresh fruits (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, or peaches)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla essence (optional)
- Biscuits or ladyfingers (optional, for a crunchy layer)

Preparation:

1. Start by preparing the cream. In a large bowl, combine the milk, sugar, eggs, and the two packets of pudding. Whisk well to avoid lumps.

2. Choose a large pot and fill it with water, then place it over medium heat to create a double boiler. When the water starts to boil, reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer.

3. Pour the milk and egg mixture into the bowl over the double boiler. Stir continuously with a spatula or whisk to prevent sticking to the bottom of the bowl. This process can take about 10-15 minutes, and the cream will begin to thicken. Cook until it reaches a consistency similar to that of thick cream.

4. Once the cream has thickened, remove the bowl from the heat and let it cool slightly. Add the cream and vanilla essence, gently mixing to incorporate the ingredients.

5. While the cream cools, you can prepare the fruits. Wash them well and cut them into suitable pieces. If using strawberries or peaches, make sure to peel and slice them.

6. If you desire a crunchy layer, you can prepare a base of biscuits or ladyfingers. Arrange a uniform layer of biscuits in a bowl or individual glasses.

7. Pour half of the prepared cream over the biscuits, then add a generous layer of fruits. Continue with the remaining cream and finish with another layer of fruits on top.

8. Cover the bowl or glasses with plastic wrap and let the dessert cool in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. This step is essential for the flavors to blend and achieve the perfect texture.

Serving suggestion: Serve mini fruit diplomat directly from the refrigerator, adding a few fresh mint leaves for an extra touch of freshness.
