This no-bake, no-gelatin dessert with milk and fresh fruit is as delicious as it is beautiful! It’s creamy, naturally sweetened with fruits, and perfect for a healthy indulgence. Here’s how to recreate this stunning and easy dessert:


Ingredients:

  • 2 cups milk (your choice: cow’s milk, almond milk, or coconut milk for added flavor)
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch (for thickening)
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for a hint of sweetness)
  • A mix of fresh fruits, sliced (e.g., oranges, kiwi, berries, or mango)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Milk Mixture:
    • In a saucepan, mix the milk and cornstarch thoroughly until smooth.
    • Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens to a pudding-like consistency. Add honey or maple syrup if desired for extra sweetness.
  2. Arrange the Fruits:
    • In a rectangular or square mold (or even individual cups), layer your sliced fruits beautifully. Make sure they’re evenly distributed for a colorful look.
  3. Pour the Milk Mixture:
    • Carefully pour the warm milk mixture over the fruits, ensuring the liquid fills all the gaps and covers the fruit completely.
  4. Chill and Set:
    • Place the mold in the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 1–2 hours, or until fully set.
  5. Serve:
    • Once set, gently remove the dessert from the mold and slice it into portions. Enjoy this creamy, fruity delight!
