Ingredients
Preparation
Wash the mixed wild berries (250 g) carefully and sort them so they go into the pot nice and clean.
Add the sugar (30 g) and most of the water (100 ml) to a small pot and bring everything to a boil.
Dissolve the cornstarch (15 g) in the remaining cold water (100 ml) until smooth, so that no lumps form – that's my little secret for a perfect consistency!
Add the mixed wild berries (250 g) to the pot and let them boil briefly before adding the dissolved cornstarch (15 g) while stirring constantly.
Let the mixture come to a brief boil until it looks glossy, then take the pot off the stove immediately.
For the vanilla cream, mix the cream (50 ml) with the vanilla extract (1 tsp) in a small bowl until it is slightly creamy but still liquid.
Serve the still lukewarm red fruit pudding in a bowl and drizzle the vanilla cream (50 ml) decoratively over it.
