In a medium-sized saucepan, combine milk, sugar, and cornstarch. Whisk until the cornstarch is fully dissolved and there are no lumps.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly with a whisk or wooden spoon, until the mixture thickens and reaches a pudding-like consistency (approximately 5-7 minutes).
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in vanilla extract. Let the pudding cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally to prevent a skin from forming.
In a mixing bowl, whisk the heavy cream until it forms soft peaks. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cooled pudding to create a light and airy texture.
In a separate large bowl, combine all the chopped fruits: apple, banana, grapes, strawberries, mango, and orange. Drizzle the honey and lemon juice over the fruits and toss gently to coat.
To assemble, layer the prepared pudding and fruit mixture alternately in serving glasses or bowls, starting and ending with the pudding. You can also mix the pudding and fruits together for a more rustic presentation.
Chill the assembled fruit salad pudding in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve cold, garnished with extra fruit slices or a sprig of mint, if desired.
