Ingredients
  

2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

3 tablespoons granulated sugar (adjust based on ripeness of strawberries)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

2 cups whole milk

1/2 cup heavy cream

1/4 cup cornstarch

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

Whipped cream, for serving (optional)

Additional fresh strawberries, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Macerate the Strawberries: In a medium bowl, add the sliced strawberries along with 2 tablespoons of sugar and the lemon juice. Gently toss the strawberries until they are well-coated with sugar. Let them rest for about 15 minutes to allow their natural juices to release and create a delicious syrup.

    Make Strawberry Milk: In a blender, combine the macerated strawberries along with their juices, whole milk, and vanilla extract. Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and well combined. Set aside a few spoonfuls of this strawberry milk mixture for garnish later.

      Prepare the Pudding Base: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the heavy cream, remaining tablespoon of sugar, salt, and cornstarch. Continuously whisk the mixture until it begins to thicken and small bubbles form, approximately 5-7 minutes.

        Combine Mixtures: Remove the saucepan from heat and gradually pour in the strawberry milk mixture while whisking vigorously to prevent any lumps from forming. Return the pan to low heat and gently stir for an additional 2-3 minutes until the pudding is smooth and thick.

          Cool the Mixture: Once the pudding base has thickened to your desired consistency, carefully pour it into individual serving cups or bowls. Allow the pudding to cool at room temperature for 15 minutes, then cover each cup with plastic wrap and transfer them to the refrigerator. Let them chill for at least 2 hours, or until completely cold and set.

            Serve: When ready to serve, remove the pudding from the refrigerator. If desired, top each serving with a dollop of whipped cream. Drizzle with the reserved strawberry sauce and garnish with additional fresh strawberries for an extra touch of freshness.

              Enjoy your delightful and refreshing Chilled Strawberry Milkshake Pudding!
