Ingredients

• 4 cups whole milk
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/3 cup cornstarch
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 4 large egg yolks
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• Optional: whipped cream, fresh fruit, or a sprinkle of cinnamon for serving

Instructions

1. Heat the Milk: In a medium saucepan, heat 3 1/2 cups of the milk over medium heat until it begins to steam. Do not let it boil.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, and salt.
3. Combine with Cold Milk: In another bowl, whisk the remaining 1/2 cup of cold milk with the egg yolks. Gradually whisk in the dry ingredients until smooth.
4. Temper the Eggs: Slowly pour about 1 cup of the hot milk into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to temper the eggs. This prevents them from cooking too quickly.
5. Cook the Pudding: Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining hot milk. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a gentle boil. Continue to cook for 1-2 minutes until it reaches a pudding-like consistency.
6. Add Vanilla: Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
7. Cool the Pudding: Pour the pudding into individual serving dishes or a large bowl. Place a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the pudding to prevent skin from forming. Let it cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until fully chilled.
8. Serve: Serve the creamy milk pudding chilled, topped with whipped cream, fresh fruit, or a sprinkle of cinnamon, if desired.
