Ingredients

• 2 cups Fresh pineapple, finely chopped
• 0.5 cups Sugar
• 2 cups Milk
• 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 3 tablespoons Water
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups Whipped cream (optional, for garnish)
• 2 tablespoons Chopped mint leaves or pineapple slices (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the finely chopped pineapple and sugar. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the pineapple softens and releases its juices.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to form a smooth slurry.

Step 3

In the same saucepan, add the milk to the cooked pineapple mixture and bring it to a gentle simmer.

Step 4

Gradually pour the cornstarch slurry into the simmering mixture while stirring continuously to avoid lumps.

Step 5

Cook the mixture over low heat for about 5 minutes, or until it thickens to a pudding-like consistency.

Step 6

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract for added flavor.

Step 7

Let the pudding cool slightly before transferring it to serving bowls or glasses. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set and chill.

Step 8

Before serving, optionally add a dollop of whipped cream and garnish with chopped mint leaves or fresh pineapple slices.
