Ingredients
for the pudding
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- orange peel of 1
- 6 clove whole
- 1 cinnamon whole stick
- 2 anise pods
- 4 allspice berries
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 3 Tbsp cornstarch
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 3 egg yolk
- 1 cup milk whole
- 2 Tbsp butter unsalted, softened
- 2 tsp vanilla bean paste or extract
- 2 tsp brandy or bourbon
for the brandied whipped cream (optional)
- 2/3 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tsp powdered sugar
- salt pinch
- 1 tsp brandy
Instructions
for the pudding
- Start by infusing the cream with the spices. In a small saucepan, combine the heavy cream, orange peel, cloves, cinnamon stick, anise pods, and allspice berries. Bring to a simmer, and then immediately remove from the heat and allow to cool to room temperature (about 20-30 minutes).
- Meanwhile, in a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Add the egg yolks and whisk until smooth. Then add the milk, a little at a time, whisking until everything is smooth.
- When the infused cream has cooled, strain it directly into the saucepan with the milk mixture, whisking everything together.
- Set the mixture over medium-low heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the pudding just begins to come to a boil. I like to switch between a whisk and a silicone spatula while I'm cooking pudding to make sure I'm scraping everything off the bottom of the pan so it cooks evenly.
- Once you see that first bubble, remove from the heat and strain the pudding into a bowl to catch any lumps. Whisk in the butter, vanilla paste, and brandy. Pour into your serving containers. Serve it warm, at room temperature, or chilled.
for the brandied whipped cream
- With electric beaters, or a whisk, whip the cream, salt, and powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Whisk in the brandy, to taste. Serve a dollop on top of the cooled pudding.
Notes
- Lower the fat content by using all whole milk.
