Ingredients

• 3 cups Whole milk
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 4 large Egg yolks
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

Step 2

Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture begins to steam and thicken, about 5-7 minutes. Do not let it boil.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Slowly drizzle about 1 cup of the hot milk mixture into the egg yolks while whisking constantly to temper the eggs.

Step 4

Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining milk mixture, whisking constantly.

Step 5

Continue to cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the pudding thickens and begins to bubble, about 3-5 minutes.

Step 6

Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately whisk in the unsalted butter and vanilla extract until smooth and fully incorporated.

Step 7

Pour the pudding into a heatproof bowl and cover the surface directly with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming.

Step 8

Let the pudding cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.

Step 9

Serve chilled on its own, or use it as a filling for pies or trifles.
