2 cups of your favorite fresh fruits (berries, mangoes, kiwis, etc.)
2 cups of water
2 tablespoons of cornstarch
2 tablespoons of honey or maple syrup (optional for added sweetness)
Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Prepare the Fruits: Wash and chop the fruits into bite-sized pieces. You can mix different types of fruits to create a colorful and flavorful dessert.
Make the Fruit Mixture: In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the water and cornstarch. Stir well to dissolve the cornstarch completely. Add the chopped fruits to the mixture.
Cook the Mixture: Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly. As the mixture heats up, it will begin to thicken. Continue to stir until the mixture reaches a pudding-like consistency. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
Sweeten (Optional): If you prefer a sweeter dessert, add honey or maple syrup to the mixture while cooking. Stir well to ensure it’s evenly distributed.
Pour and Chill: Remove the saucepan from the heat and pour the mixture into a mold or individual serving dishes. Allow it to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least an hour to let it set.
Serve: Once chilled and set, the fruit and water cake is ready to serve. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired for an extra touch of flavor and color.
