I have tried these two varieties (Pic 3) Fruit cocktail and Triple Cherry Mix, both works good.
If using canned fruits, drop the fruits in a colander (Pic 4) and wash it in running water(Pic 5), drain well and keep it aside.
You can add the essence/flavor right now to the whipped cream and mango pulp mixture.
Finally add the mixed fruits (Pic 6) fold it gently and store in refrigerator till use.
Once you mix fruits with cream then it should be used in 1-2 days, it wont stay good after that.

Tips

Use fresh chopped assorted fruits instead of canned ones.
Usually Fruit Custard has regular milk and custard powder in it but i usually skip both.
To make custard, boil 1/2 cup milk, mix it with 1-2 Tbsp custard powder without lumps and cook again in low flame for a while by stirring continuously. When its cooled down add it to the whipped cream and other remains same in the above recipe.
