Certainly! Here’s a simple recipe for making pudding without using an oven:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups of milk
- 1/4 cup of sugar
- 2 tablespoons of cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder (for chocolate pudding) or vanilla essence (for vanilla pudding)
- Pinch of salt
- Optional: toppings like whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or fruits
Instructions:
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a saucepan, combine the sugar, cornstarch, cocoa powder (if making chocolate pudding), and salt. Whisk until well combined.
- Add Milk: Gradually pour in the milk while whisking continuously to avoid lumps.
- Cook on Stovetop: Place the saucepan over medium heat. Keep stirring constantly until the mixture starts to thicken. This may take about 5-7 minutes. Make sure to scrape the sides and bottom of the saucepan to prevent sticking.
- Simmer: Once the mixture has thickened to a pudding-like consistency, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for another 2-3 minutes. Keep stirring to ensure it doesn’t burn at the bottom.
- Remove from Heat: Once the pudding has reached your desired consistency, remove it from the heat. If you’re making vanilla pudding, stir in the vanilla essence at this stage.
- Cool: Allow the pudding to cool slightly before transferring it to serving dishes or bowls. You can serve it warm or chill it in the refrigerator for a few hours until it’s cold and set.
- Serve: Once chilled, you can serve the pudding with your choice of toppings like whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or fruits.
Enjoy your homemade pudding without needing an oven!
