Homemade Vanilla Pudding Recipe
This easy vanilla pudding recipe uses 6 ingredients, whole milk, egg yolks, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, cornstarch to thicken, and a little salt.
Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 3 cups whole milk
- 3 egg yolks
- Pinch salt
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, milk, egg yolks, and salt. Heat over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture begins to simmer and thicken, about 12 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
- Strain the pudding through a fine mesh sieve into a heatproof bowl. Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming.
- Chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Then, spoon into individual glasses and garnish with fresh berries and whipped cream, if you like.
Notes
Storage: Kept in an airtight container in the fridge, this pudding will last about 5 days. You don't need to reheat it!
