Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh pineapple, finely chopped
- 0.5 cups Sugar
- 2 cups Milk
- 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons Water
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups Whipped cream (optional, for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons Chopped mint leaves or pineapple slices (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the finely chopped pineapple and sugar. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the pineapple softens and releases its juices.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to form a smooth slurry.
In the same saucepan, add the milk to the cooked pineapple mixture and bring it to a gentle simmer.
Gradually pour the cornstarch slurry into the simmering mixture while stirring continuously to avoid lumps.
Cook the mixture over low heat for about 5 minutes, or until it thickens to a pudding-like consistency.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract for added flavor.
Let the pudding cool slightly before transferring it to serving bowls or glasses. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set and chill.
Before serving, optionally add a dollop of whipped cream and garnish with chopped mint leaves or fresh pineapple slices.
