Strawberry Pudding
This easy homemade Strawberry Pudding is made with real fresh strawberries blended smooth and cooked to thick, creamy perfection. It’s naturally pink, bursting with fruity flavor, and sets up just like classic pudding.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 ½ cups whole milk
- ¼ cup cornstarch
- 2 teaspoon lemon juice
- pinch of salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, or strawberry extract
Instructions
- Add the strawberries, sugar, milk, lemon juice, cornstarch and salt to a blender. Blend at high speed for 30–60 seconds or until completely smooth. Make sure everything is fully blended before cooking. This prevents lumps later.
- Pour the blended mixture into a medium-sized saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
- Stir constantly for about 15 minutes. The pudding should thicken gradually and reach a classic pudding consistency.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let chill for at least 30 minutes. The pudding will continue to thicken slightly as it cools.
- Transfer to serving dishes or a bowl and chill for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
Storing: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerate. Homemade pudding is best enjoyed with 2 days. Strawberry pudding shouldn't be stored for longer than this, as the texture and flavor will change.
Tip 1: Use fresh strawberries only. Frozen or dried strawberries will change the texture and consistency.
Tip 2: Whole milk produces the creamiest texture. If you opt for a different milk, expect slightly different consistencies in the final product.
