Good Food that is Gluten-Free

Blueberry (Peach) Creamy Yogurt Pudding

Posted by chayacomfycook on July 5, 2009

The hot weather has really consumed us.  During the month of June, we were searching some warmer days but it was almost always cool.  I liked it that way because I was teaching and our classroom is hot in the winter and freezing in the summer.  Spring weather allows us to open our windows and enjoy the fresh air breezes brushing by us as we learn math.  It should be a moment for poetry; it is such a delightful time.

To battle this heavy muggy weather, we need cool salads and refreshing desserts and if they can be easy to make, it is much better.  No one wants to spend hours in the kitchen when the sun heats it to unbearable.

I was wandering around Diana’s Desserts and found this two minute wonder.  Little to do, almost foolproof and it slides down the throat, cool and creamy.

This recipe could be done with peaches, strawberries, blueberries or apricots and other berries.  I chose blueberries and peaches, a mix I like.  I also made it upside down from Diana whose version looks prettier but mine allows more fruit, I believe.

Ingredients:

1 small box instant vanilla pudding mix

1 1/2 cups cold milk

8 ounces of vanilla yogurt

1/8 teaspoon almond extract

2  cups fresh blueberries

1 cup frozen peaches

Method:

In a medium sized mixing bowl, combine pudding mix, milk, yogurt and extract.

Add the fruit, leaving out some to put on top. 

Mix in blueberries and peaches.

Top with additional fruit.

Select your fruit of choice.

Select your fruit of choice.

It is sweet and creamy and the tartness of the blueberries in contrast with the sweetness of the pudding makes the taste buds tingle.

That’s it, as easy as can be.
