Here’s a simple and delicious no-bake milk pudding dessert that requires just three ingredients. This recipe is perfect for a quick and easy treat.
No-Bake 3-Ingredient Milk Pudding
Ingredients:
- – 2 cups whole milk
- – 1/2 cup sugar
- – 1 packet (about 2 1/2 teaspoons) unflavored gelatin
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Gelatin:
– In a small bowl, add 1/4 cup of the milk and sprinkle the gelatin over it. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to bloom. This step is crucial for the gelatin to dissolve properly later.
2. Heat the Milk and Sugar:
– In a medium saucepan, combine the remaining 1 3/4 cups of milk and the sugar.
– Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar is completely dissolved and the milk is hot but not boiling.
3. Combine the Gelatin and Milk Mixture:
– Remove the saucepan from the heat.
– Add the bloomed gelatin to the hot milk and sugar mixture. Stir well until the gelatin is fully dissolved.
4. Pour into Molds:
– Pour the mixture into individual serving molds or a large dish.
– Allow the pudding to cool slightly at room temperature.
5. Chill and Set:
– Cover the molds or dish with plastic wrap.
– Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the pudding is set and firm.
6. Serve:
– Once set, you can unmold the pudding by running a knife around the edges and inverting it onto a plate. If using a large dish, simply scoop the pudding into serving bowls.
– Optionally, garnish with fresh fruit, a drizzle of honey, or a sprinkle of cinnamon before serving.
Tips:
– For a richer flavor, you can substitute some of the whole milk with heavy cream.
– To add a bit of flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a dash of nutmeg to the milk mixture before heating.
