~St. Patrick’s Vanilla Pudding with Meringue Dumplings~

Today I’m going to show you how I make one of  my favorite desserts from my childhood. I grew up in Slovakia and this pudding styled dessert was part of our snack at a local kindergarten. It was called Bird’s Milk. I was only few years old but this dessert had made such impression  on me I remember details like green glass dishes it was served in and a large stainless steel cart it sitting on, how teacher  wheeled into the room. 
 This dessert is for kids as much as it is for adults and today I’m putting a St. Patrick’s twist on my old time favorite.

St. Patrick’s Vanilla Pudding with Meringue Clouds(about 4 servings)

Cooked Meringue Clouds/Dumplings
2cups milk

2egg whites
2tbl sugar
  • In a clean bowl whip egg whites until medium peaks are formed, add sugar and beat until stiff and shiny 
  • Heat 2 cup of milk in a small sauce pan
  • Once milk is hot drop several tablespoon of meringue into the hot milk, cook for 30 seconds, gently stir with a wooden spoon and cook for another 30 seconds and up to 2 minutes. 
  • You can taste the cooked meringue, once cooked it become firmer then uncooked
  • Remove cooked meringue clouds from the milk and drop them into a colander colander that is sitting on another bowl to catch the excess milk
  • Continue with remaining meringue
  • If you notice hot milk is about to seize while you are dropping meringue in, add a little bit of cold milk to control it.
  • Set the cooked meringue clouds aside



Vanilla Pudding
3cups milk ( use left over milk from the previous step-Cooked Meringue Dumplings plus add additional milk to get 3cups)
4-5tbl sugar
2egg yolks
1/3cup milk
5tbl corn starch or potato starch
1tsp vanilla extract
1tbl butter
food coloring

  • In a small dish whisk together cornstarch, egg yolks and  1/3 cup milk. Add food coloring if desired.
  • In a medium size sauce pan combine 3cup milk and 4-5 tbl sugar, or to taste
  • Add cornstarch egg yolk mixture and stir continuously, mixture will thicken, cook pudding, once you see bubbles, cook for additional minute or two, stirring.
  • Remove pudding from the heat, and stir in 1tbl butter and 1tsp vanilla extract
  • Strain pudding through a fine mesh strainer 
  • Fold about 3/4 of cooked meringue clouds into the pudding


Serving Suggestion
  • This recipe makes about 6  – 1/2cup servings( I used a lot larger serving dishes, 1/2 cup won’t cut it for me)
  • Layer each dish with berries, pudding mixture and vanilla biscuits, topping it with a reserved cooked meringue cloud.
  • Let cool to room temperature or chill, best eaten slightly chilled or at room temperature
  • You can make this a day ahead, make sure you cover the tops to prevent skin forming if stored in the fridge overnight.
Pudding is one of my favorites and addition of cooked meringue clouds/dumplings really brings it to a whole new level. Remember, vanilla flavor is not set in stone this dessert could be done with banana, chocolate and even a  raspberry, possibilities are endless.
