Recipe Introduction:
This refreshing and creamy fruit dessert is perfect for hot days or as a sweet treat after dinner. It’s simple to make, with just a few ingredients, yet it delivers a delightful balance of sweetness and creamy texture.
Ingredients:
- 1 package of vanilla pudding mix
- 2 cups of cold milk
- 1 can of fruit cocktail (or fresh fruit like peaches, pineapples, or mango)
- 1 tablespoon of sugar (optional, depending on the sweetness of the fruit)
- 1 packet of gelatin (optional, for extra firmness)
- 1 cup of whipped cream (optional, for topping)
Instructions:
- Prepare the pudding: In a bowl, whisk the vanilla pudding mix with 2 cups of cold milk. Follow the instructions on the package to set the pudding (usually refrigerate for a few minutes).
- Add gelatin (optional): If you prefer a firmer texture, dissolve a packet of gelatin in a little warm water and add it to the pudding mixture. This step is optional, but it will help the dessert hold its shape better.
- Prepare the fruit: Drain the fruit cocktail (or fresh fruit) and cut into bite-sized pieces if using fresh fruit.
- Layer the pudding and fruit: In a serving dish, add a layer of the prepared pudding. Then, add a layer of fruit. Repeat until the dish is filled. You can layer the fruit throughout the dessert, or just place it on top for decoration.
- Chill and set: Refrigerate the dessert for about 2 hours, or until fully set. This helps the flavors meld together and the dessert to firm up.
- Optional topping: Before serving, top with whipped cream for an extra creamy finish.
Serve chilled and enjoy the cool, creamy dessert with a fruity twist
