Aunt Fannies Danish Dessert Food

HOMEMADE DANISH DESSERT

Steps:

• Combine Kool-aid packet, granulated sugar, and cornstarch in a 1 quart sauce pan. Mix well.
• Add two cups cold water and bring to a boil over medium high heat. Stir constantly.
• As mixture is getting close to coming to a boil it will begin to slightly thicken.
• Once mixture is boiling, turn the heat down to medium or medium low and let it continue to boil (stirring constantly) for 1 minute.
• Remove from heat and allow to cool completely before adding fruit. If you do not plan to add fruit for a cake topping and want to eat it like pudding, pour danish dessert into prepared dishes and let cool.
• I prefer to let mine cool in the fridge before adding the fruit.
• Enjoy!
