Ingredients
Scale
Fruits
- 1 cup ripe strawberries, washed, hulled, and sliced thinly
- 2 ripe bananas, peeled and cut into chunks
Base and Flavorings
- 1 cup plant-based milk (e.g., almond, oat, or cashew milk), chilled
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (natural)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
Thickening
- 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
Instructions
- Prepare the Fruits: Wash and hull the strawberries, then slice them thinly. Peel the bananas and cut them into chunks to ensure even blending and a smooth pudding texture.
- Blend the Base: In a blender, combine sliced strawberries, banana chunks, chilled plant-based milk, maple syrup (natural), vanilla extract (natural), and lemon juice. Blend at high speed until the mixture is ultra-smooth and creamy.
- Incorporate the Natural Gelling Agent: In a small saucepan, gently warm a small amount of plant-based milk and whisk in the natural gelling agent until fully dissolved and slightly thickened. Stir this into the blended fruit mixture to allow the pudding to set beautifully when chilled.
- Chill the Pudding: Pour the pudding mixture into individual serving dishes or a large bowl. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to let it firm up and allow flavors to meld perfectly.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once chilled, spoon out the Strawberry Banana Pudding Dream and enjoy as a creamy, fruit-filled delight.
Notes
- Choose ripe but firm strawberries and perfectly yellow bananas for the sweetest pudding.
- Blend thoroughly until silky smooth to avoid lumps.
- Taste and adjust sweetness with extra maple syrup (natural) before chilling if desired.
- Use chilled plant-based milk to speed up the cooling process and improve texture.
- Let pudding rest overnight for deeper flavor layering of strawberry and banana.
