Preparation of homemade creamy vanilla pudding
- You can use reduced-fat milk or even an alternative to milk, such as rice milk or coconut milk. But you have to keep in mind that using alternative milk will slightly affect the flavor of the pudding.
- Also use vanilla extract when making this cream or use vanilla seeds. If you want that real vanilla flavor I absolutely do not recommend the artificial flavor of vanillin.
- Pour 500 ml of milk into a saucepan, then take about 100 ml and set aside.
- Add the sugar and vanilla into the pot and mix.
- Add 2 tablespoons of potato starch and 2 egg yolks to the milk that you have set aside. Mix well or blend with the immersion blender.
- Turn on the flame under the milk and bring to a boil. As soon as the milk begins to rise, lower the heat and add the mix of milk starch and eggs. Stir constantly to avoid the formation of lumps. Your cream should thicken in seconds. Turn off the flame and remove from the heat. Do not cook the cream for too long because lumps or filaments may form due to the use of starch.
- Add the butter, mix and set aside.
- Pour into individual serving cups. Cover each with a layer of cling film in contact with the top of the pudding to prevent a thick layer from forming and allow to cool before serving.

It’s delicious as it is, but you can also season it with whipped cream and some fresh berries. Raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, etc … whatever you prefer.
