Update: do go and read the below mentioned post of Bharati, a good read for all health conscious mothers!!
Inspired by this post on chocolate pudding by Bharati of Veggie foodist , I also tried my hand at home made vanilla pudding and it turned out great. It is a very simple thing to make and I knew it all the time, and I had also seen on the packets of puddings the ingredients and found it quite easy too, but never tried it myself until now.
Preparation time: 5 minutes
Cooking time: 15 minutes
Utensils: a whisk, a deep saucepan, a tabelspoon, a bowl, measuring spoons
For 4 servings
Ingredients:
400 ml milk (depending on the thickness required one can also increase the quantity later)
1 pinch of curcuma (a pinch is enough to give a light lemony colour to the pudding)
2 teaspoon bourbon vanilla extract (or any vanilla extract)
4 level tablespoon cornstarch
4-6 level tablespoon sugar (take lesser in the beginning , as sugar can also be added later)
Method:
- Take out about 6 table spoons of milk before adding it to a deep saucepan
- Add the cucuma and vanilla extract to the milk and whisk
- while stirring in between, bring it to a rolling boil, reduce heat and stir
- In the mean time mix the cornstartch and sugar with a spoon and add 6 tablespoon of the cold milk to it to make a smooth paste*
- When the milk starts to boil, remove from heat and while whisking continuously slowly add the cornstarch paste.
- Stir further till it mixes evenly
- Place back on heat and bring to boil again on medium heat while stirring in between, making sure that the base of the pan does not burn
- When it starts to throw bubbles reduce heat and let it simmer for a few minutes, while stirring
- Serve warm with fruits of choice or just plain
- add the milk to the cornstarch after adding sugar
- ad the milk slowly one spoon after the other and mixing thoroughly in between
- use a small whisk or fork to crush the lumps, if they don't dissolve
So, guten appetit! we enjoyed our simple dessert with some fruits, hope you do yours too.
TIP: I also use vanilla pudding to make fruit triffle.
