Ah, I love recipes like that—simple, cozy, and perfect for cold January days! Here’s a 5-ingredient “January Comfort” dessert idea that’s quick and warming:
🍮 January Comfort – 5-Ingredient Dessert
Ingredients
- 2 cups milk (or plant-based milk)
- ½ cup sugar (or honey/maple syrup)
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch (thickener)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon (or nutmeg)
How to Make It
- Mix dry ingredients: In a small pot, whisk sugar and cornstarch together.
- Add milk: Gradually whisk in milk until smooth.
- Cook gently: Heat over medium, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens (5–7 minutes).
- Add flavor: Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract and cinnamon.
- Serve: Pour into bowls or mugs. Enjoy warm, or chill for a creamy pudding-like treat.
Optional Extras (still easy!)
- Top with a sprinkle of cocoa or chocolate shavings
- Add a dollop of whipped cream
- Serve with soft cookies for dipping
💡 Why it’s “January Comfort”
- Warm, creamy, slightly spiced
- Uses pantry staples
- Ready in under 10 minutes
If you want, I can also suggest a cold version or a baked version using just 5 ingredients that feels fancy but is still super easy.
Do you want me to do that?
