Semolina pudding for children 1 year old. Apple pudding for children. Chocolate pudding for children

All of us remember how in kindergarten we served incredibly delicious puddings topped with jam or condensed milk. There was nothing more desirable than this dessert - it seemed tastier than a cake or chocolate, and that’s all because it was prepared according to a good recipe, which today we will share with you.

So, the basis for baby pudding can be rice, cottage cheese, semolina and other products. Semolina pudding is recommended to be introduced into the diet of children after one year, since semolina is poorly absorbed by the body. In addition, it is recommended to give semolina and dishes containing it no more than 1-2 times a week.

Rice pudding is more beneficial for our children, but it is worth considering that if a child is prone to constipation, it should also be given to the child with caution. Classic milk or bread pudding without allergenic fillings can be introduced into the diet from one year of age.

The best way to prepare pudding for children is a slow cooker, double boiler or oven. This preserves the juiciness of the dessert, all the beneficial substances and does not form carcinogens.

For children, rice-based pudding is recommended to be included in the menu from one year of age or later. It tastes like boiled sweet rice porridge, but it turns out more tasty due to the inclusion of eggs, vanilla and other ingredients. You will need the following set of products to prepare rice pudding for children:

  • 1300 milliliters of milk;
  • 200 grams of round white rice (you can even use chopped rice);
  • 70 grams of butter;
  • 2 tablespoons sugar;
  • vanilla to taste;
  • strawberries for decoration.

You can make this pudding in a slow cooker, especially if you don’t have a good saucepan, but you can always make it on the stove. To prepare it, do the following:

  1. Pour milk into a saucepan or multicooker bowl and boil.
  2. Prepare the rice - rinse, remove any debris. If you don’t have small round rice, you can take any rice - basmati, jasmine - and grind it for 5 seconds in a blender to get a fine grain.

  1. Now pour the rice into boiling milk, cook the porridge, stirring it occasionally with a spoon.
  2. At the end, add a piece of butter and a portion of sugar according to the recipe.

The children's pudding is almost ready, all that remains is to decorate it in such a way that the child will definitely not refuse the dessert - healthy and tasty. For children under one year old, you can decorate the rice dessert with fruit puree, and for older children - with strawberries (as in our recipe), citrus slices, apples, berries and everything that your little one loves.

Curd

Pure cottage cheese is one of the least favorite foods of many babies and older children. But it must be present in the diet. We offer all parents a pudding recipe that will help disguise their least favorite ingredient - curd pudding.

To prepare it, you will need:

  • 1 pack of 200 grams of cottage cheese with a fat content of 9%;
  • 1 egg;
  • 1 tablespoon butter;
  • 1 tablespoon sugar;
  • breadcrumbs;
  • a little powdered sugar.

It’s quite simple to prepare such a healthy dish for children:

  1. Grind the cottage cheese in a blender with sugar until smooth.
  2. Separate the yolks, lightly shake them with a fork and add them to the cottage cheese using a blender.
  3. Add butter, previously softened, and vanilla.
  4. Beat the egg white separately with powdered sugar until it forms peaks.
  5. Both masses are combined by hand until an airy pudding base is obtained.
  6. Grease molds, for example, for muffins as in our recipe, with butter and sprinkle with white breadcrumbs.
  7. Fill them with the curd mixture, sprinkle a little powdered sugar on top, bake in the microwave, slow cooker or oven until golden brown.

This dessert can be given to children after one year; it is additionally decorated with sour cream and berry-based syrup.

We were taught how to make apple pudding using this recipe in the kindergarten where my son went. In the fall, many residents of our village give their apple harvest to a local kindergarten and school, and they make juice from these apples. Some are pasteurized and stored for the winter, while children drink some fresh. So, it turns out that you can make a very tasty apple pudding from fresh juice. It is prepared in the same way as vanilla and chocolate puddings, only freshly squeezed apple juice is used instead of milk. Comrades, this is so yummy!!! You can, of course, make it from store-bought juice, but it’s not as flavorful as straight from the press!

The ingredients for apple pudding for kids are very simple: apples (or juice), cornstarch, cinnamon, vanilla and regular sugar to taste. Those. the amount of sugar depends on the sweetness of the apples.

If there are molds, then apple pudding is made in molds, if not, in any small bowls, you just don’t need to remove it from the bowls.

If you use plastic pudding molds, it is better to place them in the refrigerator first, then the pudding will be easier to come out of them.

Squeeze 800 ml apple juice. Possibly remove foam.

Dissolve both types of sugar, cinnamon and starch in the juice.

Bring to a boil with continuous stirring over high heat and cook for 1-2 minutes over low heat, without stopping stirring. The mixture should become darker, glassier and thicker.

If you want to make baby apple pudding with apple pieces, then you need to peel it and cut it into small cubes.

The apple pieces are stirred into the pudding mixture after it has finished cooking to keep it firm.

The hot mixture must be poured into pre-cooled molds. The pudding hardens at room temperature, but if you want, you can put it in the refrigerator, then the fixation will happen faster.

To remove the pudding from the ramekins, you first need to loosen it from the sides by pressing your finger into the bottom of the pudding, and then invert it over the serving plates.

You can serve baby apple pudding with whipped cream caps. But, on the other hand, why increase the calorie content of an already delicious dish?


Description

Tender apple pudding is a recipe suitable for children from 10 months, but adults will also enjoy this delicious dessert!
For kids, apple pudding will be one of the first delicacies, because they will become acquainted with muffins, cakes and various flour pastries later. And for moms and dads, this dessert is a wonderful dish for a romantic dinner.

Apple pudding with semolina does not contain flour or fat, but contains semolina and eggs, so the dessert turns out to be dietary and satisfying at the same time.

Apple pudding tastes interesting, most of all it looks like... an omelette with an apple, if you can imagine that (although we made apple croutons!). But it’s better to try than imagine! You will see, you and your children will like it. I made a test portion of 1 piece for each of the four household members, and the pudding was eaten while still warm. So the next day I repeated the recipe, but this time I made a double portion - and the tender “apple muffins” flew away overnight.


Ingredients:

For 4 things:

  • 3-4 small apples;
  • 2 eggs;
  • 3-4 teaspoons sugar;
  • 4 heaping teaspoons of semolina;
  • 3-4 tablespoons of sour cream.

Instructions:


The original recipe from the magazine “Your Baby” gives the proportion for 1 person. For 1 apple it is suggested to take 1 tsp. sugar and semolina, 1 tbsp. sour cream and 1 egg. I increased the amount of food and slightly reduced the amount of eggs and sugar.


If you have metal or ceramic molds, you will need butter for greasing and breadcrumbs for sprinkling. If the molds are silicone, just apply them. Only if the silicone mold is used for the first time, it needs to be greased with vegetable oil.


Wash the apples, cut them into quarters, remove cores and peels and grate them on a coarse grater.




Add semolina, sugar, sour cream to the grated apples and mix.





Beat the eggs with a mixer in a separate bowl and add to the apple mixture, mix.






Place the apple mixture in the molds, place on a baking sheet and bake in the oven at 180C for 15-20 minutes.




The pudding should not be soggy (test with a stick) and slightly browned.

Pediatricians recommend introducing complementary foods to babies as early as 6 months, starting with vegetable puree or porridge. Next, fermented milk products are introduced - kefir and cottage cheese: from 8 months for breastfed babies, from 5 months - for artificially fed babies.

Cottage cheese is one of the healthiest dairy products, containing more calcium than regular milk. It is this element that is the basis of the entire human bone skeleton. Without sufficient calcium intake, a child experiences delays in both physical and mental development and delayed teething.

All fermented milk products, including cottage cheese, contain beneficial bacteria that improve intestinal motility. And kefir and cottage cheese are needed for the child’s immune system.

Cooking Basics

Pudding is a traditional English dish, the basis of which is not always cottage cheese. Puddings can be prepared either sweet, with fruits, berries, cottage cheese or semolina, or with meat, fish and vegetables. The pudding itself is an airy mass, most often containing beaten egg whites, which give the finished dish airiness and lightness.

The simplest option is ground baby pudding made from cottage cheese mixed with beaten egg whites and sugar, baked in the oven. This dish can be either baked in the oven or steamed. But the first option guarantees the presence of a golden brown crust. Curd pudding for a child over 1.5 years old differs from adult recipes. It contains a minimum of additives, but only healthy and approved products. This delicate dish is ideal for an afternoon snack or a light dinner, since it is known that active absorption of calcium occurs in the afternoon and at night.

We have selected 3 simple curd pudding recipes for kids that are tasty, fluffy and healthy.

The dish will turn out tender, airy and light. Before preparing the dish, prepare a baking dish (preferably silicone) and grease it with butter.

Pudding recipes for children:

Recipe 1: Pudding for children

What is the difference between cottage cheese pudding and cottage cheese casserole? A more delicate structure and a more appetizing appearance, if, of course, you cook it correctly! To make the dish even more airy, it is recommended to beat the whites separately from the rest of the pudding mass. If you are preparing pudding for children, then it is best to use low-fat homemade cottage cheese.

Required ingredients:

  • Homemade low-fat cottage cheese – 400 grams
  • Semolina 60-70 grams
  • Milk 150 ml
  • Chicken egg 2-3 pieces
  • Condensed milk
  • Sugar
  • Blueberries ½ cup
  • Vanillin
  • Soda 1 teaspoon
  • Lemon juice 1 tablespoon

Cooking method:

  1. Grind homemade cottage cheese through a sieve.
  2. Pour slightly warmed milk over raw semolina and leave to swell for 15 minutes.
  3. Separating the white from the yolk, beat the yolk into the cottage cheese, add sugar, salt and mix with a blender.
  4. Wash blueberries under running water.
  5. Beat the egg whites with a blender for about 5-6 minutes.
  6. Add semolina, soda, slaked with lemon juice into the cottage cheese, stir, add thick white foam, blueberries and condensed milk with a spoon.
  7. Pour water into a large saucepan and place on the stove.
  8. Pour the curd mass into the mold and place it in a saucepan, where the pudding will be cooked in a water bath. The correct cooking time is 40-45 minutes.
  9. Serve the pudding cold.

Recipe 2: Berry pudding for children

This dish is also not subject to heat treatment, and therefore retains its beneficial properties. A special feature of berry pudding for children is the large number of berries, and therefore the dessert is not only tasty, but also healthy.

Required ingredients:

  • White bread crumb 300 grams
  • Berries (red and black currants, raspberries, strawberries, cranberries) – 500 grams
  • Water 200 ml
  • Sugar
  • Powdered sugar
  • Cinnamon

Cooking method:

  1. Prepare a form for the pudding - this can be an enamel pan or a deep bowl. Line the bottom and sides with bread. To do this, separate the crust and cut the crumb into thin slices of 1-1.5 centimeters. Place the bread tightly in the pan, being careful not to leave any gaps. After laying out the bread, sprinkle it with powdered sugar and cinnamon.
  2. Let's prepare the berries. Wash them carefully, place them in a saucepan and pour a glass of clean water into them. Bring the water to a boil and add sugar to the berries. While stirring, try not to crush the berries with a spoon - they should remain whole and just give a little juice. Let the berries cook in this manner for 8-10 minutes. Refrigerate the berry mixture.
  3. Place the berries in the pan on the bread. Having added to the top, cover the berries with bread - thus, the crumb should form a kind of shell, inside which the berries will be located.
  4. Place the pudding in the refrigerator for 5-6 hours. During this time, the berries will saturate the dessert with juice, making the bread soft, juicy and aromatic. After this period of time, remove the pudding from the refrigerator, cover the pan with a plate and turn the pudding over to soak the bread on top. Place the pudding again in a cool place for 3-4 hours.
  5. Serve the dessert by cutting it and sprinkling with powdered sugar.

Recipe 3: Chocolate pudding for children

Most children love chocolate, but refuse to eat semolina porridge. If only it were the other way around! But you can take advantage of your children’s cravings and prepare them a chocolate dessert, combining the aroma of sweetness and the benefits of semolina. For chocolate pudding, use real cocoa rather than confectionery cocoa powder.

Required ingredients:

  • Semolina 100 grams
  • Milk 2 cups
  • Chicken egg 3 pieces
  • Powdered sugar
  • Cocoa 1 tablespoon
  • Black chocolate 1 bar (100 grams)
  • Vanilla
  • Butter

Cooking method:

  1. Cook semolina porridge. Heat the milk in a saucepan and, when it boils, use a spoon to make a whirlpool and pour semolina into it in a stream. Add sugar and salt, cook until thick. As soon as the porridge is ready, add a little vanilla and butter to it.
  2. Break half the chocolate into small pieces.
  3. As soon as the porridge has cooled, beat the eggs into it, add the crushed chocolate and add cocoa. Mix well.
  4. Pour the mixture into a mold and cook the dessert in a water bath (placing the mold in a large container of boiling water) for about 40 minutes.
  5. Turn the finished pudding into a plate and cool it to room temperature. Melt half the chocolate and pour it over the dish.
  6. Place the baby pudding in the refrigerator for 2-4 hours before serving.
  1. In order not to destroy the delicate structure of the pudding, do not rush to transfer it from the mold to a plate, let it cool to room temperature.
  2. To make the finished dish even more appetizing, don’t forget about decorations - candied fruits, chocolate chips, pieces of marmalade or marshmallows will make the pudding even more attractive for children.
  3. If you are making pudding for children, do not add too much sugar. Children very quickly get used to the sweet “drug” and want it more and more. Make the dish more flavorful by adding vanilla or cinnamon.
