White Chocolate Pudding
- 1 1/2 cups milk, warmed (Low-fat or whole milk are best)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- pinch of salt
- 2 ounces good quality white chocolate chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract
Strawberries
- 2 cups fresh strawberries diced
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
Pour the milk into a glass measuring cup and microwave it for 30-60 seconds until it is just warm.
In a small saucepan add the granulated sugar, cornstarch, and salt then whisk them together. Turn the heat on to medium-low and slowly pour the warm milk into the sugar mixture whisking the entire time so that lumps don't form. Continue to whisk the pudding occasionally until it starts to thicken, about 5-10 minutes.
When the pudding coats the back of the spoon add in the white chocolate and continue to stir it for about 2-4 minutes or until it is thick. Remove the pudding from the heat and stir in the vanilla.
Transfer the pudding to a bowl and strain it if you are concerned about lumps. Cover the pudding with plastic wrap so that the plastic is lying smoothly on top of the pudding (this will prevent a skin from forming). Refrigerate the pudding until it is cold and set, about 2-3 hours.
In a separate bowl sprinkle a teaspoon of sugar of the diced strawberries and toss them together until coated in the sugar. Refrigerate the berries until you are ready to assemble the parfaits.
Layer the strawberries and white chocolate pudding evenly in 4 glasses. Garnish the tops of the parfaits with grated white chocolate and a strawberry if desired.
