Homemade Vanilla Pudding

Get ready to whip up a batch of this silky smooth vanilla pudding that’s rich in flavor and incredibly simple to make.

Ingredients

2 cups whole milk
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Instructions

In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Gradually whisk in the milk until well combined and smooth.
Set the saucepan over medium heat and continue to stir the mixture constantly until it starts to thicken and bubble. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs. Slowly drizzle in about a half cup of the hot pudding mixture into the eggs, whisking constantly. This will temper the eggs and prevent them from scrambling.
Now pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining pudding and continue to cook for an additional 2 minutes until it thickens even more.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the butter and vanilla extract. Mix until the butter is melted and the pudding is smooth.
Pour the pudding into individual serving dishes or a large bowl. Cover with plastic wrap, making sure the wrap touches the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming.
Chill the pudding in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving. Once chilled, enjoy your homemade vanilla pudding!

This homemade vanilla pudding is not just an ordinary dessert; it’s a delightful treat that brings joy with every spoonful. Serve it plain, or add a sprinkle of cinnamon or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra touch. Enjoy!
