Warm, smooth, stewed apricots, topped with low-fat chilled custard and garnished with heart-friendly walnuts, this mouth-watering dessert is one of the best treats that a person with hyper cholesterol levels can enjoy.


Apricots, with their naturally rich flavour and texture get all the more enjoyable after a simple process of deseeding and stewing. Thanks to their sweetness, it suffices to add just a teaspoon of sugar to the custard, helping restrict the calories further.


Walnuts make a great garnish for the Stewed Apricots with Vanilla Custard as their mild saltiness highlights the flavours of this dessert very well.

Low cal dessert for people with heart problems. The apricots are itself very sweet so even 1 tsp of sugar is enough to sweeten the low fat custard which pairs in this healthy dessert. I would say opt for this over the other cream and sugar based desserts to please your sweet tooth.
