About Marble Pudding

The origin of this dessert is lost in history, but pudding recipes have been appreciated over time for their creamy texture and versatility. Today, marble pudding combines two distinct flavors, creating a spectacular contrast between sweet and tangy, making each spoonful a true pleasure.

Ingredients

- 1 packet vanilla pudding
- 1 packet strawberry pudding
- 1 liter milk
- 1 banana
- 8 tablespoons sugar
- Puff cookies (small biscuits or cookies) for decoration

Necessary Utensils

- A medium pot
- A large bowl
- Wooden spoon
- Measuring cups
- Individual serving bowls
- Sieve (optional, for straining the pudding)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Preparing the Vanilla Pudding

1. Start by mixing the packet of vanilla pudding with 4 tablespoons of sugar in a small bowl. This will help prevent lumps when adding the milk.

2. In a medium pot, add 500 ml of milk and bring it to a boil over medium heat. It is important to stir occasionally to prevent the milk from sticking to the bottom of the pot.

3. Once the milk starts to boil, remove it from the heat. Add the mixture of vanilla pudding and sugar to the milk, stirring continuously with a wooden spoon to ensure no lumps form.

4. Place the pot back on low heat and continue stirring until the pudding thickens, about 3-5 minutes. Here’s the key: don’t rush; constant stirring will ensure a smooth and creamy texture.

Step 2: Preparing the Strawberry Pudding

5. While the vanilla pudding cools slightly, repeat the process for the strawberry pudding. Mix the packet of strawberry pudding with 4 tablespoons of sugar.

6. Boil 500 ml of milk and, after it starts boiling, add the strawberry pudding mixture, stirring constantly until it thickens.

Step 3: Assembling the Marble Pudding

7. Take the individual bowls you prepared. Before pouring in the pudding, rinse them with cold water to facilitate the pudding’s release later.

8. Start by pouring a layer of vanilla pudding into each bowl, filling them halfway.

9. Let the vanilla pudding cool slightly, then add a layer of strawberry pudding on top. Use a spatula to remove excess and create an even appearance.

10. Allow the puddings to cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set.

Step 4: Decorating and Serving

11. Before serving, slice the banana thinly. Arrange the banana slices on top of the pudding for an extra burst of flavor and texture.

12. Sprinkle the puff cookies on top for a crunchy appearance and a touch of sweetness.

Practical Tips

- For a more intense flavor: You can add a splash of vanilla extract to the vanilla pudding to enhance the flavor. Additionally, a bit of lemon juice in the strawberry pudding will enhance the red flavor and add a touch of freshness.

- Vegan option: If you want a vegan version, you can use almond or coconut milk instead of cow's milk and choose non-dairy pudding powder.

- Customized dessert: Experiment with other fruits, such as raspberries or peaches, to add variety to this recipe. You can even try creating a layer of chocolate pudding for a decadent dessert!
