Homemade Pudding with Fresh Fruit
Ingredients
Pudding
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 2 Tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 1/4 cups whole milk
- 3 large egg yolks, lightly beaten
- 3 Tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Toppings
- 1 cup raspberries
- 1 cup strawberries, sliced
- zest of one orange
Method
- Place a mesh strainer over a 4-cup measuring cup or bowl and set aside.
- Combine the sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a medium saucepan and whisk until incorporated.
- While whisking, slowly add in 1/4 cup of the milk until smooth.
- Whisk in the egg yolks and remaining milk.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring often, until the pudding begins to thicken and just starts to bubble, about 5 to 6 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to medium low.
- Stir constantly, scraping the bottom and sides of the pan, until the pudding makes visible ribbons when drizzled over the surface, about 3 to 5 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the butter and vanilla extract until the butter is melted and completely incorporated.
- Pour the pudding through the strainer. Lightly press a piece of plastic wrap on top of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming.
- Chill in the refrigerator until set, about 2 hours.
- When ready to serve, Spoon pudding into 4 serving dishes and top each pudding with berries and zest.
