Amazing! Like ice cream in pudding form. It's so rich, creamy and delicious. I find you can eat it normally, like you would pudding. But it works in place of custard or ice cream on a dessert like apple crisp. You can easily use it to whip together a tasty treat of banana pudding. A big hit for all ages. Plus, it's an easy use for those extra egg yolks if you've made the delicious white bread recipe. Enjoy!
Delicious homemade vanilla pudding on apple crisp. Notice the delicious vanilla bean flecks you get from using the vanilla bean paste instead of vanilla extract. Yum!

Homemade Vanilla Pudding
Place in a saucepan over medium heat:
2 3/4 cup
milk (lactose-free works great)
1/2 - 2/3
cup sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp salt
Stir occasionally, letting the mixture
come to a boil. Meanwhile, prepare the
following egg yolk mixture.
In a separate bowl, mix:
1/4 cup
milk (lactose-free works great)
4
egg yolks
1/4 cup
cornstarch
Once milk and sugar has come to a boil,
let boil 1 minute. Then add in the egg
yolk mixture, whisking constantly. The mixture should thicken quickly. Keep stirring until mixture has begun boiling
again.
Remove from heat and add:
1 - 3
tsp vanilla bean paste OR vanilla extract (the bean paste is absolutely lovely in the pudding, if you
can locate it, *see note below)
Pour into one large bowl or smaller
individual serving-sized containers. Cover with plastic wrap, making sure the
wrap is on the surface of the pudding to avoid a tough layer from forming on
top.
Serve warm or cold. This pudding is
thick and creamy. It can be used like a
custard or ice cream on top of desserts, if desired.
Enjoy!
* Note: you can order vanilla bean paste off amazon.com or amazon.ca. I really like the Nielsen-Massey brand. You can use it in place of vanilla extract in any recipe, too! Yum!
