Creamy Vanilla Happiness – A Delicious Dessert Recipe

Treat yourself to creamy vanilla happiness with this delicious dessert recipe. Made with simple ingredients like milk, sugar, and vanilla extract, this smooth and sweet pudding is a comforting treat for any occasion. Garnish with whipped cream and a sprinkle of grated chocolate or cinnamon for an extra touch of elegance.

Ingredients:

• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 large egg yolks
• 2 cups whole milk
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• Whipped cream, for serving
• Grated chocolate or ground cinnamon, for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

Step 1: Combine Ingredients

In a medium saucepan, stir together milk, sugar, cornstarch, and salt until well combined.

Step 2: Cook the Mixture

Place the pot over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture begins to thicken, about 5 to 7 minutes.

Step 3: Temper the Egg Yolks

In a small bowl, lightly beat the egg yolks. Gradually add about 1/2 cup of the hot milk mixture to the egg yolks, stirring constantly to temper them.

Step 4: Combine the Mixtures

Add the warmed egg yolk mixture to the pot along with the remaining milk mixture, stirring constantly.

Step 5: Thicken the Pudding

Continue cooking over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture reaches a pudding-like consistency, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 6: Add Vanilla

Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract until well incorporated.

Step 7: Chill the Pudding

Divide the pudding between individual serving plates or a large serving bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and place the wrap directly on the surface of the pudding to prevent a crust from forming. Refrigerate the pudding for at least 2 hours or until cold and firm.

Step 8: Serve and Garnish

Before serving, sprinkle each portion with a dollop of whipped cream and, if desired, a pinch of grated chocolate or ground cinnamon.

Enjoy your creamy vanilla happiness!
