Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Fresh blueberries
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 cups Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.125 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Whipped cream (optional, for garnish)
- 0.25 cups Fresh blueberries (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Rinse 1.5 cups of fresh blueberries and add them to a medium saucepan.
Sprinkle 0.5 cups of granulated sugar over the blueberries and stir to combine.
In a small bowl, mix 3 tablespoons of cornstarch with 0.5 cups of milk until smooth. This will be your thickening agent.
Pour the remaining 1.5 cups of milk into the saucepan with the blueberries and sugar.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently.
Once the mixture begins to simmer, slowly add the cornstarch-milk mixture while continuously stirring to prevent lumps from forming.
Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 1/8 teaspoon of salt to the saucepan, and continue stirring until the pudding thickens (about 5-7 minutes).
Remove the pudding from heat and let it cool for about 10 minutes.
Pour the pudding into serving dishes or bowls and cover the surface with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming.
Chill the pudding in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
Optional: Before serving, garnish with whipped cream and a few fresh blueberries for an extra touch of elegance and flavor.
