  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

Vanilla Pudding Dip

  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup 2% or skim milk
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch, mixed with 2 tablespoons water
  • 1/2 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup sweetened whipped cream

Fruit Kabobs

  • 1 lb strawberries, halved
  • 2 medium bananas, cut into 1-inch thick pieces
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Vanilla Pudding Dip: Place the egg yolk in a small bowl and lightly beat until smooth. Set aside.
  2. Heat Sugar and Milk: In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and milk and heat over medium heat until the mixture is steaming.
  3. Temper the Egg Yolk: Slowly drizzle 1/2 cup of the warm milk mixture into the beaten egg yolk, beating constantly to prevent curdling and create a smooth blend.
  4. Cook the Pudding: Add the egg yolk mixture along with the cornstarch-water mixture to the saucepan. Cook over medium heat, whisking occasionally, until the mixture becomes bubbly and thickened like pudding.
  5. Finish the Pudding: Remove from heat and whisk in the softened butter and vanilla extract. Allow the pudding to cool slightly, then transfer to a bowl and press plastic wrap directly on the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  6. Fold in Creamy Elements: After chilling, remove the pudding and gently fold in the Greek yogurt and sweetened whipped cream. Return the dip to the refrigerator until ready to serve.
  7. Assemble the Fruit Kabobs: Thread the halved strawberries, banana pieces, and fresh blueberries evenly onto 8-10 skewers to create colorful red, white, and blue kabobs.
  8. Serve: Serve the fruit kabobs immediately with the chilled vanilla pudding dip and enjoy your festive treat.

Notes

  • Use fresh, ripe fruit for the best flavor and appearance.
  • Pressing plastic wrap directly on the surface of the pudding prevents a skin from forming while chilling.
  • To keep bananas from browning before serving, toss them briefly in lemon juice.
  • The pudding dip can be made a day in advance and refrigerated until needed.
  • For a richer pudding, 2% milk can be used over skim milk.
