How to Make Watermelon Pudding Or Sauce
- Prepare watermelon juice: Cube 4 cups of seeded watermelon and blend until completely smooth. Strain the juice through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any remaining pulp for a smoother consistency (optional).
- Whisk together sugar and cornstarch in a medium saucepan. Gradually whisk in about 1 cup of the watermelon juice until completely smooth, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Add the remaining watermelon juice to the saucepan. Whisk constantly over medium heat.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring constantly with a spatula, scraping the bottom and sides of the pan to prevent sticking.
- Once the mixture begins to bubble and thicken (about 5-7 minutes), reduce heat to low and continue to stir constantly for another 3-5 minutes, until it reaches a pudding-like consistency.
- Remove from heat and pour into a bowl. Stir occasionally until the pudding cools to room temperature.
- Stir in the vanilla extract and any optional ingredients (lime juice, salt, mint).
- Pour the watermelon pudding into individual serving cups or a serving dish.
- Chill thoroughly in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
- Serve chilled. Garnish with whipped cream, crumbled cookies, or fresh mint sprigs, if desired. To use as a sauce, thin with additional watermelon juice to your desired consistency.
