Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 1 cup Milk
  • 1 cup Whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup Sugar
  • 2 Egg yolks
  • 2 tbsp Cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp Vanilla
  • 1/2 cup Strawberry puree (10 strawberries)
  • 1 cup Milk
  • 1 cup Whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup Sugar
  • 4 tbsp Cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp Vanilla
  • 1/2 cup Strawberry puree (10 strawberries)
  • 2 cup Almond Milk
  • 1/2 cup Sugar
  • 4 tbsp Cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp Vanilla
  • 1/2 cup Strawberry puree (10 strawberries)
  • 2 cup Milk
  • 1/4 cup Honey
  • 3 tbsp Cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup Strawberry puree (10 strawberries)
  • 1 tbsp Vanilla extract

Instruction

  • Pulse the strawberries in a food processor.
  • Strain thru a sieve to remove seeds (optional).
  • In a saucepan – combine all ingredients except strawberry puree – starting with the sugar or honey, cornstarch (egg yolks and cocoa powder if using) – combine well.
  • Gradually pour in the cream while whisking at the same time. Make sure you get the corners of the pot so no dry powder is stuck there.
  • Next, add in the milk and vanilla, and give it a mix.
  • Place the pan on a medium heat stirring to ensure it does not stick to the bottom.
  • Once the milk is heated thru, turn the heat to low and continue to stir.
  • I like to switch between a whisk and a spatula. The whisk makes sure there are no lumps and the spatula helps scratch the sides and bottom well.
  • The mixture will soon become thick – you want to cook it until it comes to a low boil. The boil is what will cook the cornstarch and make it thicker.
  • NOTE – do not use high heat – you can scorch the milk on the bottom which will give you a burnt smell and if you are using egg yolks they will scramble with high heat.
  • Once you reach a boil, you will have a thick mixture which will coat the back of your spoon or spatula (see video).
  • Take it off the heat.
  • Now, add the strawberry puree and combine well.
  • Pour into serving cups.
  • Lightly tap the cup on the counter to help the pudding settle.
  • Place in the fridge for at least 3 to 4 hours to chill completely.
  • (the pudding is ready in an hour but you do need at least 4 hours for them to chill)
  • Serve as is or topped with a dollop of whipped cream, or chocolate shavings.
