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

by

Ingredients

  • 2 cups (500 ml) milk
  • 2–3 tbsp sugar or honey (adjust to taste)
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch (for thickening)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1 cup fresh fruit (mango, strawberries, kiwi, blueberries, or a mix)
  • 1–2 tbsp shredded coconut or chopped nuts (optional for topping)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the fruit: Wash, peel (if needed), and chop the fruit into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
  2. Make the milk base: In a saucepan, whisk together milk, sugar (or honey), and cornstarch until smooth.
  3. Cook: Place over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens to a pudding-like consistency (about 3–4 minutes).
  4. Flavor: Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract (if using).
  5. Assemble: Pour the hot milk mixture into serving bowls or glasses. Top immediately with the chopped fresh fruit.
  6. Finish: Sprinkle with shredded coconut or chopped nuts for extra texture.
  7. Serve: Enjoy warm for comfort or chill in the fridge for 15–20 minutes for a refreshing dessert.

Tip: Use seasonal fruit for the best flavor and nutrition. Mango + coconut is tropical, while strawberries + blueberries give a berry burst.

If you like, I can also give you a layered version of this dessert so it looks fancy for serving. Would you like me to make that next?
