Just Milk and Fruit! Delicious and Healthy Dessert Without Gelatin and Baking in 5 Minutes

by

Ingredients

  • 2 cups (500 ml) milk
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2–3 tbsp sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1 cup fresh fruit (e.g., mango, strawberries, kiwi, or banana)
  • Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the fruit – Wash, peel, and cut your chosen fruit into small cubes or slices. Set aside.
  2. Make the milk mixture – In a saucepan, mix milk, cornstarch, and sugar. Whisk until smooth with no lumps.
  3. Cook until thickened – Place the pan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens (about 3–4 minutes).
  4. Flavor – Add vanilla extract if using, and stir well.
  5. Assemble – Pour the hot milk mixture into serving cups or bowls.
  6. Add fruit – Arrange the fresh fruit on top while the mixture is still warm, pressing slightly so it sets together.
  7. Chill & Serve – Let it cool slightly, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Serve chilled, optionally garnished with mint leaves.

Tip: You can make different layers with different fruits for a more colorful and fancy presentation.

If you want, I can also give you a blended smoothie-like version of this recipe that’s even creamier and ready instantly. Would you like me to add that?
