Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Elbow macaroni
- 500 ml Whole milk
- 120 ml Heavy cream
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 20 grams Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 3 large Eggs
- 50 grams Raisins (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a medium-sized baking dish with butter and set aside.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add a pinch of salt and cook the elbow macaroni until al dente, about 6-7 minutes. Drain the macaroni and set it aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
Add the cooked macaroni and raisins (if using) to the egg mixture. Stir gently to combine, ensuring the macaroni is evenly coated.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Dot the surface with small pieces of the unsalted butter.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the pudding is set and the top is golden brown.
Allow the macaroni pudding to cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. It can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature.
