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

1. In a medium saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it starts steaming. Do not let it boil.
2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, egg yolks, cornstarch, and salt until well combined and slightly thickened.
3. Slowly pour the hot milk into the egg mixture, whisking continuously to prevent curdling.
4. 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.
5. Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, nutmeg, and cinnamon until well incorporated.
6. Transfer the pudding to individual serving dishes or a large bowl.
7. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming.
8. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until the pudding is chilled and set.
9. To serve, top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of ground cinnamon.
10. Enjoy the creamy and flavorful eggnog pudding!
