2. Place the pan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens into a pudding-like consistency (about 3–5 minutes).
3. Remove from heat and stir in honey or maple syrup and vanilla extract, if using.
4. Pour the mixture into serving bowls or glasses.
5. Top generously with chopped fresh fruit.
6. Serve warm or refrigerate for 15–30 minutes if you prefer it chilled.
