How to Make Crema De Fruta
- **Custard Filling:**
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1 cup sugar, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 6 large egg yolks, 2 cups milk, and 1/2 cup water until smooth.
- Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens and becomes creamy (about 8-10 minutes). Ensure there are no lumps.
- Remove from heat and let cool completely.
- **Gelatin Glazed Topping:**
- In a separate saucepan, combine 2 packets (about 2 tablespoons) unflavored gelatin, 1/2 cup cold water, 1/2 cup sugar, 1/4 cup fruit juice (pineapple or your choice), and 1/4 cup water.
- Heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until the gelatin is completely dissolved (5-10 minutes).
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- **Assembly:**
- Arrange ladyfingers in a single layer at the bottom of a medium-sized (8x8 inch) Pyrex dish.
- Spread half of the cooled custard filling evenly over the ladyfingers.
- Arrange half of a 20-ounce can of your favorite canned fruits (e.g., pineapple, mandarin oranges) on top of the custard.
- Repeat layers: ladyfingers, custard, and fruits.
- Pour the cooled gelatin mixture over the final layer, ensuring the fruits are completely covered.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the gelatin is fully set.
- Serve chilled and enjoy!
