Step-by-Step Instructions
To kick off this delicious recipe, start by preparing the pudding base. In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Gradually whisk in the milk and egg yolks until everything’s mixed together smoothly. I love the sound of the whisk against the metal bowl—it’s such a satisfying moment! Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir constantly until the mixture thickens, about 10 minutes. Make sure it doesn’t boil, or it’ll affect the texture. Once thickened, remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
