- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Small chocolate chip cookies for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Combine brown sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a medium saucepan, ensuring even distribution of dry ingredients.
- Gradually pour whole milk into the mixture, whisking continuously to create a smooth, lump-free base.
- Place saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula to prevent scorching.
- Cook the mixture for 5-7 minutes, maintaining steady movement until the pudding thickens and coats the back of the utensil.
- Remove from heat and immediately incorporate vanilla extract and unsalted butter, whisking until fully integrated and silky.
- Transfer the pudding to a serving bowl, ensuring a clean surface to prevent skin formation.
- Press plastic wrap directly onto the pudding’s surface to prevent moisture accumulation and refrigerate for 2 hours until completely chilled.
- Just before serving, gently fold in chocolate chips for added texture and flavor.
- Optional: Garnish with mini cookies to enhance presentation and provide a delightful crunch.
Notes
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure smooth blending and prevent lumps in the pudding.
- Continuously stir the mixture while cooking to avoid scorching and create a silky texture.
- For a gluten-free version, replace regular chocolate chips with certified gluten-free chocolate chips and use gluten-free mini cookies as topping.
- Try different mix-ins like crushed graham crackers or sprinkles to customize the pudding’s flavor and texture.
