Ingredients
- 2 cups milk (any kind – dairy or plant-based)
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons sugar or honey (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- 1 cup mixed fresh fruit (e.g., strawberries, bananas, mango, blueberries)
- Extra fruit for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Prep the Milk Base:
In a saucepan, whisk together milk, cornstarch, and sugar until smooth. Place over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens into a smooth pudding (about 3–5 minutes). - Add Flavor:
Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract if using. - Layer with Fruit:
In serving cups or bowls, add a spoonful of chopped fruit, pour the warm milk mixture on top, and repeat layers as desired. - Chill or Serve Warm:
You can serve it warm or refrigerate for 15–30 minutes if you prefer a cooler, firmer texture. - Top and Enjoy:
Garnish with extra fruit on top before serving.
