  • Strawberry Pudding: A Sweet and Creamy Delight

    Strawberry Pudding: A Sweet and Creamy Delight

    Strawberry Pudding: A Sweet and Creamy Delight

    Table of Contents

    Ingredients:

      • Strawberries: 200 g (fresh or frozen)
      • Sugar: 80 g
      • Milk: 400 ml

     

    • Cornstarch: 50 g (or any starch of your choice, such as arrowroot powder or potato starch)
    • Coconut Flakes: For garnish (optional, but recommended for added texture and flavor)

    These simple ingredients are all you need to create a decadent strawberry pudding that will transport you to a world of pure indulgence. The strawberries provide a fresh, fruity flavor, while the milk and cornstarch come together to create a silky-smooth texture. The sugar adds just the right amount of sweetness, and the optional coconut flakes bring a tropical flair that perfectly complements the flavor of the strawberries.

     

    Steps to Make Strawberry Pudding:

      1. Prepare the Strawberries:
        If you are using fresh strawberries, wash them thoroughly and remove the stems. Cut them into small pieces and set them aside. If using frozen strawberries, simply thaw them and drain any excess water.
      2. Blend the Strawberries:
        Place the strawberries into a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier pudding, pulse a few times to leave some texture. For a smoother consistency, you can blend the mixture completely. Set aside.
      3. Make the Pudding Base:
        In a medium saucepan, combine the milk and sugar. Stir well and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Be sure to stir occasionally to prevent the milk from burning.

     

      1. Thicken the Pudding:
        While the milk mixture is heating, mix the cornstarch with a small amount of cold milk (about 50 ml) to create a smooth slurry. Once the milk and sugar mixture is simmering, gradually add the cornstarch mixture while stirring continuously. This will help thicken the pudding to a custard-like consistency. Continue stirring until the pudding reaches your desired thickness (about 5-8 minutes).
      2. Combine the Strawberry Puree:
        Once the pudding has thickened, remove the saucepan from the heat. Add the blended strawberries to the pudding and stir until well incorporated. The heat of the pudding will allow the strawberry flavor to meld beautifully with the creamy base.
      3. Chill the Pudding:
        Pour the pudding into individual serving bowls or a large dish. Cover with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow it to set and cool. The pudding will thicken further as it chills.

    1. Garnish and Serve:
      Once the pudding is chilled and set, garnish with a sprinkle of coconut flakes and serve. You can also add additional toppings such as whipped cream, fresh mint, or extra sliced strawberries for a decorative touch.
