A Classic Creamy Dessert To Love!
Pudding is not just a tasty treat for kids, I love puddings and custards! I also use it in several tasty treats like our Dirt Cake and Sand Pudding Cups. Can you buy it from the box? Of course – but homemade is always delish and perfect when you don’t have pudding boxes handy. Why we love it:
Easy. It’s a simple dessert to make and whips up in a flash. Simple treat. Easily top it with some Whipped Cream or eat it plain, it’s just as good! So tasty. While it does require a little extra effort than a box pudding, the added flavor is worth it! Crowd pleaser. When you need a simple dessert that everyone will love give this recipe a try!
Ingredients
granulated sugar cornstarch milk – The higher the fat content the thicker and creamier the pudding will be so I stick with 2% or whole milk, but 1% or skim can be used. For a dairy-free vanilla pudding substitute the milk with almond milk or coconut milk. Note that the flavor and texture will differ but it is still a delicious dessert for those who stay away from dairy. large egg yolks salted butter pure vanilla extract – Use a quality vanilla extract. The better the flavor of the vanilla the better the pudding will taste. Or use an equal amount of vanilla bean paste instead of extract. The paste will produce a bit more flavor and produce some specks in the pudding.
