Why turn to store-bought pudding when you can make it from scratch in a matter of minutes? This recipe is so simple that the kids can easily help.
Ingredients
  • 1 cup 1% low-fat milk
  • 8 ounces frozen strawberries, thawed (about 1½ cups)
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup 0%-fat strawberry Greek yogurt
  • Chocolate shavings, optional
  • Sliced strawberries, optional
Instructions
  1. Place the milk and strawberries in a blender, and blend until completely pureed.  Set aside.
  2. Place the sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a medium-size saucepan and whisk until combined. Gradually whisk in the milk/strawberry mixture. Add the vanilla extract.
  3. Place over medium-high heat and bring to a simmer, stirring constantly. Reduce the heat and continue to simmer, stirring gently, until the mixture thickens slightly, about 2 minutes.
  4. Remove from the heat and stir in the yogurt. Continue stirring gently to break up any bubbles that may have appeared on the top. Spoon the mixture into 6 individual bowls and chill in the refrigerator for about 2 hours. Garnish with shaved chocolate and berries as desired.
