Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, cornstarch, and salt until thoroughly combined.
Gradually add 1 cup of the whole milk to the dry ingredients, whisking continuously to create a smooth mixture with no lumps.
Pour the remaining 1 cup of milk and the heavy cream into a medium saucepan. Place the saucepan over medium heat and heat just until bubbles begin to form around the edge, stirring occasionally. Do not bring to a boil.
Slowly whisk the warm milk mixture into the cornstarch mixture, pouring in a steady stream to temper it and avoid curdling.
Transfer the combined mixture back into the saucepan and return it to medium heat. Stir constantly with a whisk or wooden spoon, ensuring the mixture does not stick to the bottom.
Cook the pudding for 7-10 minutes, or until it thickens to the consistency of custard. Once it thickens, remove the saucepan from heat.
Stir in the vanilla extract and the unsalted butter, mixing until fully incorporated and smooth.
Allow the pudding to cool for 5 minutes, then pour it into individual serving bowls or ramekins.
Cover the bowls with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
Once chilled, serve the pudding as-is or garnish with whipped cream, fresh berries, or a sprinkle of cocoa powder before serving.
