Ingredients

• 2 cups Milk
• 6 tablespoons Splenda (granulated)
• 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 3 large Egg yolks
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, whisk together the Splenda, cornstarch, and salt until well combined.

Step 2

Gradually add 2 cups of milk to the saucepan while whisking to avoid lumps.

Step 3

In a small bowl, lightly beat the egg yolks and set aside.

Step 4

Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture begins to thicken and comes to a gentle boil. This should take about 6-8 minutes.

Step 5

Once the mixture thickens, remove the saucepan from the heat.

Step 6

Slowly pour a small amount (about 1/2 cup) of the hot pudding mixture into the beaten egg yolks, whisking constantly to temper the eggs.

Step 7

Return the tempered egg mixture to the saucepan with the rest of the pudding and place it back on medium heat.

Step 8

Cook the mixture for another 2 minutes, stirring continuously, until the pudding is thick and smooth.

Step 9

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 10

Pour the pudding into individual serving dishes or a large bowl, covering the surface with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming.

Step 11

Allow the pudding to cool for 10-15 minutes at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
