Ingredients:
- 2 cups milk (500 ml)
- 1/3 cup sugar (70 g)
- 2 eggs
- Optional: 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional garnish: chopped nuts or caramel sauce
Prepare the pudding:
In a saucepan, place 2 cups milk and 1/3 cup sugar, then heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the mixture is hot but not boiling.
Beat the eggs:
In a separate bowl, crack the eggs and beat well until soft.
Temper the eggs:
Gradually pour a small amount of the hot milk mixture into the beaten eggs while continuing to beat. This process is called “tempering” and helps prevent the eggs from curdling.
Combine the ingredients:
Pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining hot milk mixture, stirring constantly.
Cook the pudding:
Place the saucepan back on the stove over low heat. Cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Do not let it boil.
Add vanilla (optional):
If you are using vanilla extract for extra flavor, mix it into the pudding mixture after removing from the heat.
Cool the pudding:
Transfer the pudding mixture to individual serving bowls or a larger serving dish.
Leave it to cool at room temperature for a while before placing it in the refrigerator for at least 2-3 hours to set.
Garnish (optional):
Once the pudding has cooled and set, garnish it with chopped nuts or a drizzle of caramel sauce for an extra touch of flavor.
Serve and enjoy!
