Detailed Directions and Instructions
Prepare the Strawberry Layer
Start by blending fresh strawberries until smooth. You should have about one cup of strawberry puree. Strain the puree through a fine sieve to remove seeds, if desired.
Cook the Strawberry Mixture
In a saucepan, combine the strawberry puree, sugar, and cornstarch. Cook over medium heat while stirring until the mixture thickens and reaches a pudding-like consistency.
Set the Strawberry Layer
Once thickened, remove the mixture from heat and let it cool slightly. Pour the mixture into silicone molds, filling them halfway.
Refrigerate the molds for about 1 to 2 hours until the layer is set.
Prepare the Milk Layer
In a separate bowl, whisk together milk and sugar. If you want a richer flavor, consider adding vanilla extract.
Combine the Layers
Once the strawberry layer is set, gently pour the milk mixture over the strawberry layer in the molds, filling them to the top.
Final Set
Return the molds to the refrigerator and let them chill for another 2-3 hours until fully set.
Unmold and Serve
Carefully remove the pudding bites from the molds. Serve them chilled and enjoy the delightful combination of strawberry and milk layers.
Notes
Using Fresh Strawberries
For the best flavor, use ripe, fresh strawberries. Frozen strawberries can work, but they may alter the texture slightly.
Adjusting Sweetness
You can adjust the amount of sugar based on your preference and the natural sweetness of the strawberries.
Serving Suggestions
These pudding bites are great as a snack or dessert. Consider serving them with a dollop of whipped cream for added richness.
Storage Instructions
