Blueberry Custard Puddings

Packed with antioxidants and phytoflavinoids, blueberries are high in potassium and vitamin C. They’re little bubbles of blue goodness that we just can’t get enough of and there’s a glut of them at the moment so add them to your breakfast, snack on them or make these little beauties with them.

100ml skimmed milk

410g can light evaporated milk

2 tbsp custard powder

1 tsp vanilla essence

1tbs granulated sweetener

150g fat-free Greek yoghurt

400g frozen blueberries, thawed. If using fresh blueberries, put them in a glass bowl in the microwave for 3 minutes to cook through to make a coulis like texture.

Method

Put the skimmed and evaporated milks, custard powder and vanilla essence in a bowl and stir with a whisk until well blended.

Transfer the mixture to a pan and heat over a medium heat, stirring, for about 4 – 5 minutes until thickened. Stir in sweetener and leave to cool in the pan, covered with clingfilm (it should touch the surface to prevent a skin forming) for 30 minutes. If the mixture is too thick, you could add a small amount of cold milk.

My mixture seemed to be a bit lumpy so I used an electric whisk to beat for a few minutes which seemed to get rid of those pesky lumps.

Gently stir in half the yoghurt. Divide three-quarters of the blueberries with any juices among 6 glasses then spoon over the custard. Add the remaining berries and chill for at least 1hour.

Top with the remaining yoghurt and blueberries to decorate.
