Instead of letting them go to waste, I decided to turn them into a delicious homemade pudding. My husband and I love fresh pudding recipes, and this one quickly became a favorite in our house! It’s an easy dessert featuring a creamy white pudding and a vibrant, tangy berry sauce.

How to Make Very Berry Pudding?

- Make the White Pudding: In a separate medium saucepan, whisk together the milk, flour, cornstarch, and sugar until smooth. Place over medium heat and stir continuously until the mixture starts to thicken and comes to a gentle boil.
- Add Flavor & Finish: Once the pudding begins to bubble, lower the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and butter. Continue stirring for another minute until the pudding is silky and thick. Remove from heat. Let it cool 10 minutes.
- Assemble & Serve: Pour the warm white pudding into small jars or dessert cups, and add 1-2 tablespoon berry sauce on each ones top. Let them cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least an hour before serving.
