Instructions
Prepare the saucepan
In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the whole milk and evaporated milk.
Pro tip: A heavy-bottomed saucepan helps prevent scorching.
Mix dry ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, and salt until well combined.
Pro tip: Ensure the cornstarch is evenly distributed to prevent lumps.
Combine wet and dry ingredients
Gradually whisk the dry ingredients into the milk mixture until smooth.
Pro tip: Add the dry ingredients slowly to avoid clumping.
Cook the pudding
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a gentle boil, about 15 minutes.
Pro tip: The pudding is ready when it coats the back of a spoon.
Add vanilla
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Pro tip: Adding vanilla off the heat preserves its flavour.
Serve or chill
Pour the pudding into serving dishes and let it cool slightly before serving. For chilled pudding, cover with plastic wrap directly on the surface and refrigerate.
Pro tip: Chilling the pudding with plastic wrap prevents a skin from forming.
Tips & Tricks
