Ingredients
- 2 cups milk (500ml)
- 1/3 cup sugar (70g)
- 2 eggs
- Optional: 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional garnish: Chopped nuts or caramel sauce
Instructions
-
Prepare the Ingredients: Combine the milk and sugar in a medium saucepan. If using vanilla extract, stir it in now. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until smooth and well-mixed.
-
Heat the Milk and Sugar: Place the saucepan over medium heat. Stir continuously to dissolve the sugar and gently warm the milk. Do not let it boil.
-
Temper the Eggs: Slowly add a small amount of the warm milk mixture to the beaten eggs, whisking constantly to avoid curdling. Gradually mix in the rest of the milk, continuing to whisk.
-
Cook the Pudding: Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 5–7 minutes).
-
Chill the Pudding: Remove from heat and let the pudding cool slightly. Pour into serving dishes or ramekins. Cover the surface with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until fully chilled and set.
-
Serve and Garnish: Before serving, add optional garnishes like chopped nuts or a drizzle of caramel sauce. Serve chilled and enjoy!
Notes
- Use low heat to prevent the pudding from curdling or separating.
- Stir constantly to achieve a smooth, lump-free texture.
- For added flavor, consider mixing in a pinch of cinnamon or cocoa powder.
- Refrigerate leftovers for up to 3 days, but do not freeze as freezing alters the texture.
