Ingredients

  • 2 cups whole milk.
  • cup granulated sugar or to taste.*
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract.
  • ¼ cup corn starch.
  • 1 (3oz) package strawberry jello.
  • 1 cup pomegranate seeds.

Optional:

  • Whipping cream for garnishing.

Instructions

  • In a saucepan over medium heat pour 1 ½ cup of milk, sugar and vanilla extract and mix well together until sugar is completely dissolved.
  • Heat milk for 5-7 minutes until it starts to bubble around the edges.
  • Meanwhile, mix corn starch well in the remaining milk then pour into the saucepan.
  • Continue stirring and cooking the pudding until it thickens, will take about 1.5 minute.
  • Divide the vanilla mixture into 8 (4oz) dessert cups or ramekins.
  • Let it chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.

Prepare jello:

  • Dissolve the packet in 1 cup of boiling water then add 1 cup of cold water and mix everything well.
  • Take the ramekins out of the fridge, put about 2 heaping teaspoons ( more or less if you like) of pomegranate seeds on top of the vanilla pudding.
  • Now pour the jello carefully over the pomegranate, refrigerate for two hours or until jello is completely set.
  • Serve cold with whipping cream on top.
  • Enjoy.

Notes

* I’ve found that ½ cup is too sweet and ¼ cup is barely enough so I went for ⅓ cup.
