Ingredients

•  1 liter milk
•  4 eggs
•  ½ cup sugar
•  3 tbsp cornstarch
•  1 tsp vanilla extract
•  1 tbsp butter

 Step-by-Step Recipe

 Step 1: Prepare the Mixture

•  Take a large mixing bowl.
•  Crack the eggs into the bowl and whisk gently until smooth.
•  Add the sugar and continue whisking until the mixture becomes slightly creamy.
•  Sprinkle in the cornstarch slowly while mixing to avoid lumps.
•  Add vanilla extract and mix well until everything is silky smooth.

 Step 2: Heat the Milk

•  Pour the milk into a deep saucepan.
•  Warm it over low to medium heat until it becomes hot, but do not let it boil.
•  Stir occasionally so the milk heats evenly.

 Step 3: Combine Carefully

•  Slowly pour a little warm milk into the egg mixture while whisking continuously.
•  Keep mixing gently to help the mixture stay smooth and creamy.
•  Gradually pour the remaining milk while stirring the whole time.

 Step 4: Cook Until Thick

•  Transfer the mixture back to the saucepan.
•  Cook on low heat while stirring continuously.
•  After a few minutes, the texture will begin to thicken.
•  Keep stirring until it becomes rich, smooth, and pudding-like.
•  Add butter and stir until fully melted and combined.

 Step 5: Set the Dessert

•  Pour the thick mixture into a glass dish or mold.
•  Smooth the top gently with a spatula.
•  Let it cool at room temperature for a few minutes.
•  Refrigerate for 3–4 hours until fully set and chilled.

 Step 6: Serve & Enjoy

•  Slice into soft cubes or rectangles.
•  Drizzle a little honey or caramel syrup on top if desired.
•  Serve cold for the best creamy texture.

 Q/A

 Why is my pudding not setting properly?

•  It may need more chilling time, or the mixture was not cooked long enough to thicken properly.

 Can I make it without eggs?

•  Yes, but the texture will be slightly different. You can increase the cornstarch a little for firmness.

 How should I store it?

•  Keep it covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days for best freshness.
