Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Whole milk
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 4 large Egg yolks
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
- 6 bars Milky Way bars (fun size)
- Whipped cream (optional, for garnish)
- Chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Chop the Milky Way bars into small bite-sized pieces and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the granulated sugar and cornstarch to combine evenly.
Gradually whisk in the whole milk, ensuring there are no lumps of cornstarch.
In a small bowl, lightly beat the egg yolks. Set aside.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the milk mixture, stirring constantly, until it begins to thicken and bubble gently, about 5-7 minutes.
Once thickened, reduce the heat to low and slowly temper the egg yolks by whisking in a small amount of the hot milk mixture, one spoonful at a time, until the yolks are warmed.
Gradually pour the tempered yolks into the saucepan with the rest of the milk mixture, whisking constantly to prevent curdling.
Continue to cook on low heat for another 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the pudding is thick and smooth.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the butter and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
Fold in the chopped Milky Way bars, stirring gently to allow the caramel and nougat to slightly melt into the pudding for a marbled effect.
Transfer the pudding into individual serving bowls or ramekins.
Cover each bowl with plastic wrap, ensuring the wrap touches the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until thoroughly chilled.
Before serving, optionally garnish with whipped cream and chocolate shavings.
Serve chilled and enjoy!
