German coconut-strawberry-milknoodles

German Milknoodles are very popular among little children and are often served as a sweet main dish. Usually, you just have to cook the pasta of your choice with some milk and sugar instead of water and thicken the sauce with a bit starch. To be honest, when I was younger and heard of Milknoodles for the first time, I actually thought that this dish had to be very disgusting, because I just couldn’t imagine using milk to cook noodles and even add sugar to it since I had never eaten sweet noodles before. But my attitude changed when I once visited one of my friends and got to eat Milknoodles for lunch. I was really surprised then, because I did actually taste very good and from this moment on I realized that you have to try everything first before you can judge them 😉

This recipe uses strawberry milk and coconut milk so that it is more aromatic, but if you don’t like strawberry or coconut, you can substitute these through any other flavored milk or cream. But mind, that you don’t have to add any additional sugar when your milk is already sweetened or otherwise it’ll be unenjoyable ^^
