Ingredients

• 2 cups orange juice
• 1 cup pineapple juice
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 3 large egg yolks
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon orange zest
• 0.5 cup pineapple chunks, finely chopped
• 1 cup whipped cream
• 1 spring mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, whisk together orange juice, pineapple juice, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and salt until combined and smooth.

Step 2

Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture begins to thicken (about 5-7 minutes).

Step 3

In a small bowl, lightly beat the egg yolks. Gradually add a few spoonfuls of the hot mixture to the egg yolks, whisking vigorously to temper them.

Step 4

Slowly pour the tempered egg yolks back into the saucepan, whisking continuously to avoid curdling.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low and continue stirring until the pudding is thick and creamy (about 3-4 minutes). Do not allow the mixture to boil.

Step 6

Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately stir in the butter and orange zest until fully melted and incorporated.

Step 7

Fold in the finely chopped pineapple chunks, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the pudding.

Step 8

Transfer the pudding to a bowl or individual serving dishes. Cover the surface with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming.

Step 9

Allow the pudding to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours, or until chilled.

Step 10

Before serving, top with a dollop of whipped cream and garnish with mint leaves for a fresh, vibrant finish.
