Homemade Vanilla Pudding
Sometimes all we need is a bowl of creamy smooth Vanilla Pudding. It
is amazing how you can take everyday ingredients like milk, eggs, sugar,
and vanilla, and transform them into a dessert that tastes so good. It
is easy to make, and your can eat it hot, at room temperature, or even
cold. It looks so enticing when served in pretty bowls with a dollop of
softly whipped cream and maybe strawberry.

Vanilla Pudding Recipe:
3 1/2 cups (840 ml) whole milk (organic, if possible)
1/3 cup (65 grams) plus 1/4 cup (50 grams) granulated white sugar
1/4 cup (30 grams) cornstarch (corn flour)
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1 large egg yolk
2 teaspoons pure vanilla bean paste or pure vanilla extract
1 tablespoon (15 grams) unsalted butter
Garnish:
Strawberry
Directions:
- In a large stainless steel (or heatproof) bowl whisk together 1/3
cup (65 grams) sugar, cornstarch, salt, eggs, and egg yolk. Whisk in 1/2
cup (120 ml) of the milk. Set aside while you heat the rest of the milk
and sugar. Have ready a fine medium-sized strainer and bowl as you will
need to strain the pudding after it is cooked.
- First, rinse a medium-sized heavy saucepan with cold water and then
shake out the excess water. (Doing this step prevents the milk from
scorching.) Then pour the remaining 3 cups (720 ml) of milk, along with
the remaining 1/4 cup (50 grams) of sugar, into the saucepan and bring
just to a boil. Remove from heat and gradually pour the hot milk into
the egg mixture, whisking constantly, until the mixture is smooth.
Transfer the pudding mixture to a clean, large heavy bottomed saucepan
and place over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until the
mixture thickens to the consistency of mayonnaise (about 3-5 minutes).
Remove from heat and whisk in the butter and vanilla extract. If
necessary, pour through the strainer to remove any lumps that may have
formed during cooking.
- Pour the pudding into six or eight serving dishes, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until well chilled, about two hours. Homemade Vanilla Pudding
