Total Time: 3 hrs 10 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 package instant vanilla pudding mix
- 2 cups milk
- 1 cup whipped cream
- 1 cup grape juice
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the instant vanilla pudding mix with cold milk. Whisk vigorously for 2 minutes until the mixture becomes smooth and begins to thicken.
- Gently fold in the whipped cream, creating a light and airy texture. Ensure the ingredients are thoroughly integrated without deflating the cream.
- Transfer the pudding mixture into individual serving dishes or a single large mold. Smooth the surface with a spatula to create an even finish.
- Cover the pudding with plastic wrap, ensuring direct contact with the surface to prevent skin formation. Refrigerate for 3 hours to allow complete setting and chilling.
- For the Royal Grape Sauce, combine grape juice and cornstarch in a small saucepan. Whisk until cornstarch is completely dissolved.
- Heat the grape juice mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly. Cook until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Remove the sauce from heat and let it cool to room temperature. The sauce will continue to thicken as it cools.
- Before serving, drizzle the Royal Grape Sauce over the chilled pudding. Garnish with additional whipped cream if desired.
Tips
- Always use cold milk when preparing instant pudding mix to ensure the smoothest texture.
- When folding whipped cream, use a gentle, circular motion to maintain its light, airy consistency.
- For an extra-smooth pudding, use a fine-mesh strainer while transferring the mixture to serving dishes.
- To prevent crystallization in the grape sauce, continuously stir while heating and avoid high temperatures.
- Chill your serving dishes beforehand for an extra-cool and refreshing dessert experience.
- For a more intense grape flavor, consider using a high-quality, 100% pure grape juice.
- If you prefer a smoother sauce, strain the grape sauce through a fine sieve before cooling.
