Ingredients
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 4 large egg yolks
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Whipped cream, for topping
- Ground cinnamon, for garnish
Directions
- In a medium saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it starts steaming. Do not let it boil.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, egg yolks, cornstarch, and salt until well combined and slightly thickened.
- Slowly pour the hot milk into the egg mixture, whisking continuously to prevent curdling.
- Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon. This should take about 8-10 minutes.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, nutmeg, and cinnamon until well incorporated.
- Transfer the pudding to individual serving dishes or a large bowl.
- Cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until the pudding is chilled and set.
- To serve, top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of ground cinnamon.
- Enjoy the creamy and flavorful eggnog pudding!
