An Easy Fruit Pudding Recipe

Who doesn’t love fruit desserts when autumn rolls around? Orchard trees laden with a beautiful harvest simply beg us to eat up.

While apple desserts abound, I don’t have many recipes that call for pears….which is one reason why this recipe for pear pudding is extra-special to me.

Another reason? This protein fruit pudding can provide welcome relief for constipation.

Homemade Constipation Relief Recipe

Why do we use pears in this recipe? Why would they be helpful relief for constipation symptoms?

According to one article,

“Pears are high in dietary fiber, containing 6 g per serving. Pears, similar to apples, are concentrated in fructose, and the high fiber and fructose in pears probably explain the laxative properties.”

Ingredients for Protein Pear Fruit Pudding

• 3 pears, de-seeded and thinly sliced (not peeled!)
• 1/4 cup coconut water
• 1 Tbsp. raw honey
• 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
• 5 whole cloves
• 3 Tbsp. gelatin powder (see the note below for our favorite brand)
• 1/2 cup filtered water
• 1 Tbsp. coconut oil
• 1/2 tsp. pure vanilla extract

How to Make Protein Fruit Pudding

1. In a medium-sized saucepan, heat the sliced pears, coconut water, ground cinnamon, and whole cloves over low heat. Cook for 20 minutes, or until the pears are tender.
2. Add the cooked pears and all juice from the pan to a blender. Add the raw honey. Blend until pureed and no lumps remain.
3. Return the pear puree to the pan and keep warm, with a lid on.
4. Mix the boiling water and gelatin powder together and stir until the gelatin is completely dissolved and no longer grainy.
5. Stir the gelatin mixture into the pear puree until fully incorporated.
6. Add the coconut oil and vanilla extract and mix well.
7. Immediately pour the pudding into individual glass or ceramic containers and place in the refrigerator to thicken for at least 15 minutes.
