1/4 (8 oz.) pkg. elbow macaroni (1/2 c.)
3 c. milk
2 tbsp. sugar
1/8 tsp. salt
3/4 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 c. heavy or whipping cream
4 strawberries for garnish

About 1 3/4 hours before serving: In 4-quart saucepan over medium heat, heat macaroni, milk, sugar, and salt to boiling, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to low; simmer 25 to 30 minutes until macaroni is very tender, stirring frequently. Remove saucepan from heat; stir in vanilla. Cover and refrigerate about 1 hour or until macaroni mixture is chilled, stirring occasionally. When macaroni is chilled, in small bowl with mixer at medium speed, beat heavy cream until soft peaks form; fold whipped cream into macaroni mixture. To serve, spoon pudding into four goblets or dessert dishes. If you like, garnish each serving with a strawberry.
