Meghan Markle unveils pudding recipe named after daughter, 'Chantilly Lili'

Meghan Markle recently unveiled the recipe for a special pudding named after her three-year old daughter Princess Lilibet. It's called the Chantilly Lili and is a take on Markle's grandmother's banana pudding.

The Duchess of Sussex recently introduced the launch of her new lifestyle brand named 'As Ever'. Earlier this week, she shared a post on Instagram where she made the Chantilly Lilli to celebrate As Ever's launch. She wrote in the caption:

"Whipped up a special dessert with @nytcooking as we celebrate the launch of @aseverofficial today! Goodness is moments away. In the meantime, enjoy the recipe for our 'Chantilly Lili' a delicious dessert named after our darling daughter. So so so good As special and sweet as she is."

A few days later, Meghan Markle shared the recipe of the dessert on her Instagram page as well.

Meghan Markle's Chantilly Lili recipe

In an Instagram reel posted on April 3, Meghan Markle made the pudding from scratch and also shared some insights and tips on how to make it. She starts by cracking eggs into a bowl and adding sugar. She then adds some other powder before adding milk and mixing it all.

Markle pours it all into a pot and uses a whisk to mix it a bit more. She then adds vanilla bean to the mix. Later, she has another bowl with an ingredient and adds the warm milk mixture one ladle at a time into the bowl, whisking aggressively.

The video also shows her adding condensed milk to it as well. It then cuts to her serving it in cups with strawberries, mint leaves, and more as garnish.

Meghan Markle wrote in the caption:

"I did a spin on my grandma's banana pudding recipe, making homemade vanilla pudding, layering in fresh chantilly cream (doesn't the word 'chantilly' make you think of that old Big Bopper song?!), with strawberries soaked in fresh lemon juice and a touch of sugar. Of course, slices of banana and vanilla wafers layer in for this sweet treat we named after Lili."

Markle also shared some tips to recreate the dish by using pudding mixes or frozen whipped cream instead of chantilly cream. She wrote:

"Top tip: if you're in a pinch, just use a box of old school vanilla pudding mix, or if you can't make the homemade chantilly cream, add vanilla extract and a touch of sugar into frozen whipped topping (you know the one!) Whatever you have time for, it will be delicious! *To make the cookies into crumbles, place them in a ziploc bag and use a rolling pin to break them up - easy to do and adds great texture and finish!*
