VANILLA PUDDING FROM SCRATCH

Steps:

• Note: I measure the cornstarch out of its box without sifting, leveling the spoons on the side of the box. Lower amount of starch will make a creamy soft pudding, larger amount a firmer pudding.
• In a small pot whisk together egg yolk, 3 tbs of the milk, sugar and cornstarch (and vanilla seeds if using) until smooth. Best use a wire whisk to do so. Add rest of the milk, stir until smooth.
• Put egg milk over medium heat and, stirring constantly, bring to a boil once, remove from heat and let cool. Stir frequently while the pudding is cooling to avoid a skin forming.
• Whip cream until stiff.
• When the pudding is cold fold the whipped cream in with a rubber spatula. Fill in individual serving bowls, layer with fruit salad if you like or serve with a sauce. Will keep in the fridge for 12 hours or more.
• Note: Cooking time is cooling time.

Steps:

Continue to cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil and thickens to a pudding-like consistency, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
• Divide the pudding among 6 to 8 small ramekins or dessert cups. Place a piece of plastic wrap directly on top of each pudding and refrigerate until completely cooled and set, about 4 hours. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream.
