Apricot pudding is made by cooking milk, sugar and a thickener, then stirring in apricot purée. Whisk the mixture as it cooks to prevent lumps, pour it into serving dishes, and chill until set.
Yes, dried apricots work well in apricot pudding. Soak them in warm water until soft, drain them, and blend into a purée before adding; this gives a concentrated fruit flavor without hard pieces in the finished dessert.
Apricot pudding usually stays runny if it has not been cooked long enough for its thickener to activate, or if the fruit adds too much liquid. Whisk it over heat until thickened, then let it cool fully before judging its final texture.
To keep apricot pudding smooth, dissolve the starch or other powdered thickener in cold milk before heating it. Pour that mixture into the pan gradually while whisking, and keep stirring as the pudding thickens.
Apricot pudding is usually served cold because chilling helps it set and makes it easy to portion. Cover the surface while it cools to prevent a skin from forming, then add any crunchy toppings just before serving.
Freezing is not ideal for apricot pudding because thawing can make its dairy-based texture watery or grainy. Refrigerate it instead and enjoy it within a few days; if it separates, gently whisking may help but will not fully restore the original texture.
Fresh apricot pieces, toasted almonds, or crushed plain biscuits all make suitable toppings for apricot pudding. Add them just before serving so the fruit stays fresh and the crunchy toppings do not soften in the chilled pudding.
Yes, canned apricots can be used in apricot pudding. Drain them well before puréeing, since the syrup can make the pudding overly sweet or loose; adjust the added sugar only after tasting the fruit mixture.
Keep apricot pudding covered in the refrigerator and eat it within a few days. Because it contains dairy, do not leave it out for extended periods; discard it if it develops an off smell or an unusual change in texture.
Yes, apricot pudding can be thickened without cornstarch by using another suitable thickener, such as custard powder or gelatin, depending on the recipe. Follow that ingredient’s preparation method, since some need heating while others must be dissolved separately.

Apricot pudding is a soft dessert made with a pudding base, often milk, sugar and starch, with apricot added as fruit, purée or flavouring. Recipes vary, and it can be made at home with fresh or dried apricots. It is usually served chilled as a simple dessert after a meal, or with fruit and biscuits for an afternoon treat. Its creamy texture balances the apricot’s gentle tartness, so it works well without elaborate toppings.
It is mainly a source of carbohydrates, with 22.5 g per 100 g, and is relatively low in fat. For a lighter version, reduce the added sugar and let ripe apricots provide more of the sweetness.
