Ending a meal with a fresh dessert is really the best when it’s hot. So I propose delicious strawberry puddings. They are easy to prepare and contain neither eggs nor gelatin. They also have the advantage of being partially made in advance. So take note of the ingredients and try them!

Ingredients for 4 Strawberry Puddings

12 oz strawberries (weight after discarding + 2 strawberries for final decoration)
2.5 oz sugar
1.75 oz cornstarch (maizena)
0.5 cup water
0.6 cup heavy cream
chopped pistachios

Tools

1 Small pot
Blender
1 Bowl
Electric beaters
4 Dessert cups

Preparation of the Strawberry Puddings

Place the sugar in a blender and pulverize it. I used my Thermomix for 25 seconds at speed 9. Alternatively, you can use powdered sugar.
Wash the strawberries, pat them dry with paper towels, and cut them in half.
Then add the strawberries to the sugar and blend until you get a smooth cream: with the Thermomix 25 seconds at speed 5/6.
Place the cornstarch in a small pot, pour in the water, and stir until completely dissolved.
Then add the strawberry sauce and mix everything together.
Bring the pot to the heat, and once it boils, cook the cream for one minute. During this step, stir continuously with a wooden spoon or a small whisk. You will see the mixture slowly thicken, reaching the consistency of a pudding.
Remove from the heat and pour the cream into four dessert cups. Let them cool to room temperature, then cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for at least 2/3 hours.
Meanwhile, place the bowl and beaters you will use to whip the cream in the freezer.
Shortly before serving the strawberry puddings, pour the cream into the now cold bowl and whip it with the electric beaters, but keep it fairly soft.
Distribute it over the strawberry cream in the four cups, sprinkle with chopped pistachios and garnish with a few strawberry pieces.
Keep the strawberry puddings in the refrigerator until serving time. Enjoy! Paola
