How to make strawberry dessert step by step

    Step 1 – Preparing the strawberry pudding

    Simple strawberry pudding dessert – notes

    I don’t often make my family dinner with a typical dessert, so when they recently saw glasses with strawberry dessert on the table, they were quite surprised :) I hope they don’t think they can expect such surprises with every dinner ;) Everyone really enjoyed the desserts, so I’m sharing this simple yet very impressive strawberry dessert here.

    What ingredients are needed to prepare the strawberry dessert?

    To prepare such a dessert in cups or glasses, you only need a few basic ingredients. Below is a condensed list of products I used and possible substitutes.

    • pudding – I used pudding for 500 ml of milk; my pudding already contained sugar, so I didn’t add any more sugar when cooking it. If you have unsweetened pudding, add as much sugar as the manufacturer recommends on the package.
    • milk – I used UHT milk. For the cream, I used 30% fat cream from a carton; remember that the cream must be very well chilled before whipping, otherwise it won’t whip!
    • strawberries – for the fruit topping (frużelina), I used fresh strawberries, but out of season, you can use frozen fruit – you don’t need to thaw them beforehand. Put the frozen fruit into a saucepan, add sugar, water, and lemon juice, and heat until the fruit starts to break down.

    Can pudding dessert be made with other fruits?

    Of course, you can make this dessert with other fruits and other flavors. For example, you can prepare raspberry pudding, or even plain cream or vanilla pudding. And make the fruit topping (frużelina) with other fruits – all berries, blueberries, raspberries, but also larger fruits like peaches, apples, or mangoes will work great. Cut these larger fruits into smaller pieces before heating them.

    This dessert can taste very interesting in a version with chocolate pudding and cherry fruit topping (frużelina), additionally sprinkled with grated milk or dark chocolate :)

    How to serve strawberry dessert?

    Strawberry dessert is best served right after preparation. However, it can also safely stay in the refrigerator for a few hours and wait for dinner time. The dessert looks great and tastes even better with a decoration of fresh, sliced strawberries. You can also add, like I did, a piece of cookie or sponge cake, or even sprinkle with a little grated chocolate – in this case, I would recommend white chocolate.

    I hope that this summer strawberry dessert will be as much to your loved ones’ taste as it is to my family’s, and that you will use this recipe to prepare desserts in other flavors as well. I would be very happy if you then share your impressions in a comment under the recipe.
