Fruit Ingredients
- 1 cup ripe strawberries, washed and sliced
- 2 ripe bananas, sliced
Creamy Base
- 1 cup plant-based cream
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (natural)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Setting Agent
- Natural gelling agent (as per package instructions)
Garnishes (optional)
- Fresh strawberry slices
- Thin banana rounds
- Chopped toasted almonds or pistachios

Instructions
- Prepare the Fruit: Wash strawberries thoroughly and remove stems. Slice strawberries and bananas into thin, even pieces. Reserve some slices for garnish and set the rest aside for the pudding base.
- Blend the Creamy Base: In a blender, combine plant-based cream, sliced bananas, maple syrup (natural), vanilla extract (natural), and lemon juice. Blend until smooth and creamy with no lumps, forming the base of the pudding.
- Add the Natural Gelling Agent: Warm the cream mixture gently, then carefully incorporate the natural gelling agent following package directions, ensuring it dissolves completely for proper setting.
- Layer the Fruit and Creamy Mixture: In individual glasses or a large bowl, layer sliced strawberries and remaining banana pieces. Pour over the creamy pudding mixture and repeat layers as desired for a beautiful presentation.
- Chill to Set: Refrigerate the pudding for at least 2 hours, allowing it to firm up and flavors to meld smoothly.
- Garnish and Serve: Before serving, top with fresh strawberry slices, banana rounds, a sprinkle of chopped nuts, or a drizzle of maple syrup (natural) for an attractive finish.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm fruit to maintain texture.
- Warm the cream mixture before adding the gelling agent for better dissolution.
- Layer fruit and pudding thoughtfully to enhance visual appeal and flavor bursts.
- Chill for optimal texture and refreshing taste.
- Adjust maple syrup (natural) quantity to suit your sweetness preference or substitute with coconut sugar.
