Take a heavy bottom vessel. Add soya milk and boil over medium heat.
Dilute Arrowroot powder in 2 to 3 tsps of water or plant-based milk and add to the milk stirring it continuously to avoid lumps. Keep stirring from the bottom to avoid burning
Add sugar and cardamom powder when the milk gets a thick consistency.
Boil for another 5 minutes. Add dry fruits and saffron – let it cool to room temperature
In a meanwhile take the deseeded custard apple pulp in a bowl and mash it slightly. If you like whole pulp do not mash it. Mix this pulp with the above cooled thick milk and stir it.
Keep the bowl in the refrigerator and serve chilled.

Tip

Always cool the milk and then add custard Apple pulp to retain the original flavour of the fruit.
