HOMEMADE VANILLA PUDDING

This luscious Homemade Vanilla Pudding is easy to make and delicious.   It’s made with Half and Half which gives it a smooth, creamy texture along with the wonderful vanilla flavor. I don’t normally keep Half and Half in the fridge.  Lucky for me I did have heavy cream, which allowed me to make my own Half and Half instead of running to the store to buy it.  To make your own Half and Half combine 3/4 cup whole milk with 1/4 cup heavy cream to make 1 cup of Half and half.  You’ll need 3 cups for the recipe.

Ingredients:

• 2 Tablespoons cornstarch
• 3 cups Half and Half ( you can also use whole milk or light cream)
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 4 egg yolks, beaten slightly
• 1 Teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 Tablespoon butter
• 1/4 Teaspoon salt

Directions:

1. Combine the sugar and cornstarch in a heavy duty metal saucepan.  Add the half and half, over medium heat , cook and gently whisk the mixture until it thickens and boils. After it boils, whisk slowly and boil for 2 minutes more. Remove the pan from the heat.  
2. Remove 1 cup of the half and half mixture from the pan.  Slowly add it to the egg yolks while mixing with a fork to fully combine.  Take the half and half and egg yolk mixture and slowly whisk it back into the remaining ingredients in the pan. ( Don’t dump it in all at once, it needs to be added gradually)   Over medium heat, bring the pan ingredients up to a gentle boil, reduce the heat, cook and whisk slowly for 2 more minutes.  Remove from the heat and stir in the butter, salt and vanilla.  Pour pudding into 6 dessert dishes, cover the surface of the pudding with plastic wrap so it’s touching the top of the pudding.  This prevents a film from forming on the pudding as it cools.  Let the pudding cool on the counter 45 minutes, refrigerate up to 24 hours.
