Absolutely! Here’s a simple, indulgent creamy dessert that’s easy to make and universally loved: a No-Bake Creamy Vanilla Pudding Dessert. 🍨
Creamy Vanilla Dessert (No-Bake)
Ingredients (Serves 4–6)
- 2 cups (480 ml) milk
- 1/2 cup (100 g) sugar
- 3 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) heavy cream (optional, for extra richness)
- Optional toppings: crushed cookies, chocolate shavings, fresh berries, caramel drizzle
Instructions
1. Mix dry ingredients
- In a small bowl, whisk sugar and cornstarch together.
2. Heat milk
- In a saucepan, heat milk over medium heat until warm (do not boil).
3. Combine and thicken
- Gradually whisk the sugar-cornstarch mixture into warm milk.
- Stir constantly until the mixture thickens (about 5–7 minutes).
4. Add flavor
- Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract and heavy cream (if using).
5. Chill
- Pour into serving glasses or bowls.
- Cover with plastic wrap (press directly onto the surface to prevent a skin) and chill for at least 2 hours.
6. Serve
- Top with berries, cookie crumbs, chocolate shavings, or caramel before serving.
Tips
- For a chocolate version, add 2–3 tbsp cocoa powder when mixing sugar and cornstarch.
- Can layer with crushed graham crackers or ladyfingers for a trifle-style dessert.
- For an adult twist, a splash of coffee liqueur or Baileys works beautifully.
