Vanilla Millet Pudding

Vanilla Millet Pudding

A comforting twist on classic vanilla pudding, enriched with nutritious millet. This creamy, wholesome dessert combines the subtle nutty flavor of millet with smooth vanilla pudding for a unique treat. Perfect served either warm or cold, it's a delightful way to incorporate whole grains into your desserts!

Instructions

  1. First, let's cook the millet. Give it a good rinse under cold water until the water runs clear.
  2. Cook the millet according to package instructions until it's completely soft. This is important - we want it to blend seamlessly into our pudding!
  3. Once cooked, drain the millet well and set aside. Don't worry if it seems a bit sticky, that's perfect for our pudding.
  4. Now for the pudding part! In a medium saucepan, whisk together the vanilla pudding powder, vanilla sugar, and regular sugar.
  5. Gradually add the oat milk while whisking constantly to prevent any lumps from forming.
  6. Cook the mixture according to the pudding package instructions, whisking continuously until it thickens.
  7. Once the pudding has thickened, stir in your cooked millet.
  8. Continue cooking on low heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly. This helps the flavors meld together and ensures everything is heated through.
  9. You can enjoy this pudding either warm (like a cozy breakfast) or cold (as a refreshing dessert).
  10. If serving cold, let it cool to room temperature first, then refrigerate.
  11. To prevent a skin from forming on top while cooling, press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the pudding.
  12. for serving you can top with fresh fruit, a sprinkle of cinnamon, a dollop of whipped cream, or a drizzle of maple syrup.
  13. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  14. When serving from the fridge, give it a good stir to ensure the millet is evenly distributed.

Notes

  • Make sure your millet is really well-cooked - undercooked grains will be noticeable in the smooth pudding.
  • If your pudding becomes too thick after cooling, you can thin it with a splash of oat milk.
  • For a creamier texture, you can blend half of the cooked millet before adding it to the pudding.
  • If reheating, do so gently on low heat or in short bursts in the microwave, stirring well between bursts.
