Ingredients
- 1 package Danish dessert mix
- 2 cups milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Whipped cream for topping
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 package of Danish dessert mix, 2 cups of milk, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and whipped cream for topping.
- In a medium saucepan, pour in the 2 cups of milk and place it over medium heat.
- Gradually sprinkle the Danish dessert mix into the milk while continuously whisking to prevent lumps from forming.
- Continue to whisk the mixture until it begins to thicken, which should take about 3 to 5 minutes. Be sure to keep the heat moderate to avoid scorching the milk.
- Once the mixture has thickened to a pudding-like consistency, remove the saucepan from the heat.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to enhance the flavor of the dessert.
- Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then pour it into individual serving dishes or a large bowl.
- Cover the dishes with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the dessert to set completely.
- Once chilled and set, remove the dessert from the refrigerator.
- Before serving, top each portion with a generous dollop of whipped cream for added richness and presentation.
- Serve the Danish Dessert Nana chilled and enjoy with friends and family!
Tips
- Whisk with Patience: The key to a smooth, lump-free dessert is continuous whisking when adding the mix to milk. Take your time and keep the motion steady.
- Temperature Control: Use medium heat to prevent scorching the milk and ensure even thickening of the dessert.
- Chill for Success: Allow the dessert to set completely in the refrigerator for at least an hour to achieve the perfect creamy texture.
- Vanilla Matters: Use high-quality vanilla extract to enhance the overall flavor of the dessert.
- Presentation is Key: Top with freshly whipped cream just before serving to add a luxurious touch and impress your guests.
- Make Ahead: This dessert can be prepared a day in advance, making it perfect for dinner parties or family gatherings.
- Experiment with Toppings: While whipped cream is classic, try adding fresh berries, chocolate shavings, or a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra flair!
