Ingredients

  • Fresh strawberries – The star of the show. Ripe = more flavor.
  • Milk – Whole milk gives the creamiest result but use what you like.
  • Sugar – Just enough to let the strawberries shine.
  • Cornstarch – The magic thickener. No lumps allowed.
  • Vanilla extract – Small amount big impact.
  • Salt – Sounds odd works wonders. Trust it.

Instructions

  • Blend the strawberries until smooth. You want a vibrant pink puree with no big chunks hanging around.
  • Strain the puree if you want ultra-smooth pudding. This step is optional but worth it if you hate seeds.
  • Whisk sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a saucepan. This helps prevent clumps later.
  • Slowly add milk and strawberry puree, whisking constantly so things stay silky.
  • Cook over medium heat, stirring nonstop. The mixture will thicken suddenly—don’t walk away.
  • Remove from heat and add vanilla. Stir it in like you mean it.
  • Pour into serving dishes, cover, and chill until set.
