Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

3/4 cup water
1/4 cup sugar
1 16-ounce package fresh strawberries, hulled, cut into 1/2-inch pieces (about 3 1/2 cups)
2 1/2-pint baskets fresh raspberries
2 1/2-pint baskets fresh blueberries
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 3-ounce packages (about) soft sponge-cake ladyfingers
Low-fat Vanilla Custard Sauce

Steps:

  • Stir 3/4 cup water and sugar in heavy medium saucepan over medium-high heat until sugar dissolves. Add strawberries and raspberries and bring just to boil, stirring constantly until berries release their juices, about 5 minutes. Stir in blueberries. Remove from heat. Let stand until lukewarm, about 30 minutes. Stir in vanilla. Strain berry mixture, reserving berries and juices separately.
  • Arrange 15 ladyfingers, side by side and standing upright, around inside of 5- to 6-cup soufflé dish (about 7 inches in diameter and 3 inches high). Arrange 6 ladyfingers in bottom of dish, trimming to fit. Spoon half of berries into lined dish. Top with 6 ladyfingers, trimming to fit. Spoon remaining berries over. Top with 8 ladyfingers, trimming to fit. Cover with plastic wrap; place small plate atop pudding to weigh down. Chill pudding and juices separately overnight.
  • Peel back plastic wrap. Invert pudding onto plate. Spoon some of reserved juices over. Cut into wedges and serve with Low-fat Vanilla Custard Sauce.

Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, use whole milk instead of skim milk.
  • Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract for a more intense vanilla flavor.
  • If you don't have cornstarch, you can use flour instead. Just be sure to whisk it into the milk mixture until it's completely dissolved.
  • If you want a thicker pudding, cook it for a few minutes longer. Just be careful not to overcook it, or it will become rubbery.
  • Serve the pudding warm or cold. You can also top it with whipped cream, fruit, or nuts.

Conclusion:

This reduced-fat vanilla pudding is a delicious and healthy dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give this recipe a try!
