Ingredients
- 200 grams cream cheese
- 500 ml milk
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 50 grams raisins
- 50 grams almonds (slivered or roughly chopped)
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 3 tablespoons water
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, soak the raisins in 3 tablespoons of warm water for 10 minutes to hydrate. Set aside.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the milk and cream cheese. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until the cream cheese is fully melted and incorporated into the milk.
Step 3
Add the granulated sugar to the saucepan and stir until it dissolves completely.
Step 4
In a separate small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 3 tablespoons of water to form a smooth slurry. Gradually add this slurry to the milk mixture, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.
Step 5
Continue to cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently, until it thickens to a pudding-like consistency (this should take about 5-7 minutes).
Step 6
Reduce the heat to low, and stir in the vanilla extract, soaked raisins (including any remaining soaking water), and half of the almonds. Mix until evenly distributed.
Step 7
Grease the insides of 4 small ramekins or serving bowls with the butter. Divide the pudding mixture evenly among the ramekins.
Step 8
Sprinkle the remaining almonds on top of each pudding for garnish. Let the puddings cool slightly at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until well-chilled.
Step 9
Serve the cheese puddings cold, optionally garnished with additional almonds or a drizzle of honey.
