q.b.
Milk pudding is a fresh, delicate spoon dessert with a creamy consistency, perfect to serve as a happy ending to a meal at a dinner with guests, or to offer to children at snack time for a healthy and genuine break. It is a quick and easy recipe, without butter, eggs or flour, also ideal for those who follow a gluten-free diet or for those who want to indulge in a delicious treat without too much guilt.

To bring it to the table, simply melt the cornstarch and granulated sugar gently in a thick-bottomed saucepan with half the dose of milk provided for in the recipe. At this point, pour in the remaining milk, together with a teaspoon of vanilla extract , and continue cooking over a low flame, often stirring with a wooden spoon, until you obtain a thick, velvety cream to distribute into individual bowls and then harden in the fridge, for at least a couple of hours, before being eaten by the spoonful.

In our version we garnished the pudding with raspberries and blueberries, for a pleasant contrast of flavors between the sweetness of the milk cream and the slightly sour taste of the berries . But, if you prefer, you can enjoy it plain or you can complete the preparation with a salted caramel topping or whatever you prefer: strawberry coulis , dark chocolate flakes, pistachio paste, chopped hazelnuts, colored sugar sprinkles, fruit salad fresh , crumbled dry biscuits…

Those who wish can flavor everything with lemon or orange zest while, the more sinful, can incorporate bitter cocoa powder or a drop of rum into the rest of the ingredients. Alternatively, in case of food intolerances, you can opt for lactose-free milk or, if there are vegans among the diners , you can choose an almond or coconut vegetable drink instead of cow’s milk .
