Homemade Vanilla Pudding

Step 1

Pour the milk into a medium-sized pot and place it on the stove, but don't turn it on yet.

Step 2

Separate the eggs and add the egg yolks to a medium-sized bowl. You can use the egg whites for another recipe such as coconut macaroons or cinnamon stars.

Step 3

Add the powdered sugar to the egg yolks in the bowl and mix everything with the normal beaters of your electric mixer until creamy and lighter in color.

Step 4

Add the cornstarch and the same amount of milk from the pot. Mix again using your electric mixer until everything is well combined. Set the mixture aside.

Step 5

Returning to the pot of milk on the stove, add the vanilla extract and whisk regularly while bringing the milk to a boil.

Step 6

Wait for your milk to boil, then immediately remove it from the hot burner. Pour the egg-sugar-cornstarch mixture into it while whisking constantly.

Step 7

Place the pot back onto the hot burner and let the mixture simmer for 1-2 minutes until it has thickened. Whisk constantly.

Step 8

Pour or ladle the pudding into three small bowls.

Step 9

Let the pudding cool. You can decorate it with fresh fruit and/or whipping cream before serving.
