Ingredients
Scale
Fruit Puree
- 1 cup fresh ripe strawberries, washed and hulled
- 1 cup ripe bananas, peeled and sliced
Cream Mixture
- 1 1/2 cups plant-based cream
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup (natural)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon natural gelling agent
Instructions
- Prepare the Fruit Puree: Wash and hull the strawberries, then slice them along with peeled bananas. Blend the fruit until smooth to create a natural, sweet puree that forms the base of the pudding.
- Heat and Combine Ingredients: In a saucepan, gently warm the plant-based cream with pure maple syrup (natural), vanilla extract (natural), and fresh lemon juice. Slowly whisk in the natural gelling agent while heating to encourage even dissolution and avoid lumps.
- Incorporate the Fruit Puree: Lower the heat and stir the fresh fruit puree into the cream mixture, combining everything until smooth and uniformly colored.
- Set the Pudding: Pour the pudding mixture into serving dishes or a large bowl. Allow it to cool slightly before refrigerating for at least 3 hours so the natural gelling agent can work to create a luscious texture.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once set, garnish with sliced strawberries, banana chips, toasted nuts, fresh mint leaves, or a dusting of cinnamon as desired. Delight in every creamy spoonful.
