Description
Welcome, dessert lovers! If you’re looking for a sweet treat that’s as dreamy as a cloud and doesn’t require you to preheat the oven, then you’re in for a delightful surprise with this No-Bake Creamy Milk Dessert. It’s the dessert that’s not just delicious but also incredibly easy to whip up—perfect for busy days when you still want to impress without breaking a sweat!
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups of milk – Because what’s a creamy dessert without milk?
- 1 cup of sugar – This is where the magic of sweetness happens!
- 1/2 cup of cornstarch – This will give our dessert that wonderful, thick texture.
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract – For that oh-so-important flavor boost!
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt – A pinch of salt makes all the flavors pop.
- 1 cup of heavy cream – We’ll be whipping this into fluffy clouds!
- Grated chocolate or fresh fruit for decoration (optional) – Because a little extra flair never hurt anyone!
Instructions
- Combine the Goodies: In a saucepan, mix together the milk, sugar, cornstarch, salt, and vanilla extract. It’s like a little party in your pan—except no one’s wearing party hats, just a fun flavor mix!
- Cook It Up: Place your saucepan on medium heat and keep stirring until the mixture thickens. (Don’t walk away; you don’t want your creamy concoction to turn into a thick paste—yikes!)
- Cool Down: Once thickened, remove it from the heat and let it cool for a bit. You’ll want to keep it at a comfortable temperature before the next step—no one likes a super-hot dessert!
- Mold It: Pour your cooled mixture into molds or individual serving cups. This part feels a bit like making magic: it transforms from a liquid to a tantalizing dessert!
- Chill Out: Allow your desserts to cool at room temperature, then pop them in the fridge until they’re firm. This takes a little patience, but trust me, it’s worth the wait.
- Whip It Good: Just before serving, whip the heavy cream until it’s light and fluffy. Top your creamy dessert with this whipped delight. Want to impress even more? Sprinkle some grated chocolate or fresh fruit on top. Voila! Your dessert is dressed for success!
Notes
- Don’t Panic: If your mixture looks a tad lumpy while cooking, don’t fret! It’ll all come together in the end. Lumps are just a little bit of extra character.
- Flavor Variations: Feeling adventurous? Try adding a hint of almond extract instead of vanilla for an unexpected twist!
