Ingredients
- 3/4 cup dark brown sugar
- 1/3 cup cornstarch
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup milk
- 3 large egg yolks
- 2 tablespoons salted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together 3/4 cup dark brown sugar, 1/3 cup cornstarch, 1 cup heavy cream, 1 cup milkPlace the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture begins to bubble and thickens, about 2 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the heat. In a small bowl, whisk 3 large egg yolks. Slowly add a few tablespoons of the hot pudding mixture to the yolks while whisking continuously to temper them. Gradually pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan while whisking.
- Return the pan to medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, for 90 seconds until the pudding thickens further and coats the back of a spoon.
- Remove from heat again and stir in 2 tablespoons salted butter and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Transfer the pudding to individual serving dishes or a large bowl. Pudding can be served warm or cold. To chill, cover with plastic wrap, pressing the wrap directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Let the pudding cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for 2 hours to chill completely.
