Ingredients:
Milk – 500 ml
Sugar – 80 g
Vanilla Sugar – 8 g
Flour – 20 g
Cornstarch – 35 g
Butter – 20 g
Chocolate (for decoration) – approximately 50 g (or more, depending on preference)
Instructions:
Prepare the Pudding Base:
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the milk, sugar, and vanilla sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is warm but not boiling.
Mix the Dry Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and cornstarch.
Make the Pudding:
Gradually add the dry ingredients (flour and cornstarch) to the warm milk mixture, stirring continuously to prevent lumps.
Continue to cook over medium heat, whisking constantly until the mixture thickens to a pudding-like consistency (about 5-7 minutes).
Finish the Pudding:
Once the pudding has thickened, remove it from the heat. Stir in the butter and mix until smooth and glossy.
Chill the Pudding:
Pour the pudding into individual serving cups or a large dish and cover it with plastic wrap, ensuring the wrap touches the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming.
Refrigerate the pudding for at least 2 hours, or until it has set and chilled.
Decorate:
Once chilled, melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a double boiler or in the microwave in short bursts. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the pudding or grate it on top for decoration.
Serve:
Serve the pudding chilled, garnished with the chocolate, and enjoy!
This smooth, creamy vanilla pudding with a touch of chocolate decoration is a comforting treat that’s perfect for any occasion!
