Ingredients
- 400 grams canned pineapple slices
- 240 milliliters pineapple juice
- 480 milliliters low-fat milk
- 40 grams cornstarch
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 120 grams whipped cream
- 6 leaves mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Drain the canned pineapple slices and reserve 240 milliliters of the pineapple juice. Chop the pineapple slices into small, bite-sized pieces and set aside.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the cornstarch and granulated sugar. Gradually whisk in the low-fat milk and reserved pineapple juice, ensuring there are no lumps.
Step 3
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it thickens and begins to bubble. This should take about 7–10 minutes.
Step 4
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let the mixture cool slightly for 5 minutes.
Step 5
In a large bowl, gently fold the chopped pineapple pieces and whipped cream into the pudding mixture, ensuring everything is evenly combined.
Step 6
Spoon the mixture into individual serving glasses or bowls. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until fully chilled and set.
Step 7
Before serving, garnish with a dollop of whipped cream and a mint leaf, if desired. Serve cold and enjoy!
