Vanilla Pudding
Summers in India are always an intense affair. It is difficult to keep your calm when the temperatures outside are soaring high and skyrocketing. I feel that the heat is hardest on the children, who have to go to school in this awful weather. They should be taken special care of, and be fed properly too. Vanilla Pudding is the ideal dessert for the summers. The chilled treat contains the heavenly combination of vanilla flavour and whipped cream. I have used both milk (doodh) and condensed milk, along with milk powder to get a smooth, creamy texture. Corn starch has been used as a thickening agent, and helps in achieving pudding-like consistency. I personally prefer using vanilla extract of vanilla essence, as it has a stronger flavour. The beauty of Vanilla Pudding is enhanced when it is served chilled, and it becomes very refreshing. I have used whipped cream and cherries for garnishing. Some nuts and other fruits can also be used according to choice. This dessert is a welcome and wonderful respite from the summer heat.
