Creamy rich and so good, a good quality pure vanilla extract will only improve this pudding even more! This takes minutes to make just mix everything in a saucepan and stir until thickened! Make certain to use a heavy-bottomed saucepan for this to prevent scorching or it can also be made in the microwave removing to stir a few times. Ingredients:
1/3 cup sugar (for a sweet pudding add in a couple tablespoons more sugar) |
2 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
2 cups half-and-half cream (or use milk) |
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract |
1 egg yolk |
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional) |
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional) |
1 -2 tablespoon butter |
Directions:
1. In a heavy saucepan combine sugar, cornstarch, salt, half and half cream, cinnamon and nutmeg (if using) bring to a boil whisking vigorously over medium heat.
2. As soon as the mixture is very hot whisk in the egg yolk and cook whisking vigorously until thickened and bubbly (about 2 minutes).
3. Remove from heat and immediately stir in vanilla and butter until smooth and combined.
4. Transfer to a heat-proof bowl, then place a piece of plastic wrap directly over the pudding.
5. Cool for about 30 minutes on the counter then refrigerate until cold.
