Quick Vanilla Pudding Recipe (Ready in 10 Minutes)

Whisk the Egg and Sugar: In a bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and sugar until it becomes creamy and smooth.

Mix Cornstarch: Add the cornstarch to the egg and sugar mixture, stirring until everything is well combined.

Heat Milk: In a saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it starts to steam, but don’t let it boil.

Combine: Slowly pour a little of the hot milk into the egg mixture while continuously stirring to temper the egg yolk and prevent it from curdling.

Cook the Pudding: Gradually add the rest of the milk to the egg mixture and return it to the saucepan. Cook over medium heat, constantly stirring, until the mixture thickens to a creamy consistency (around 5-7 minutes).

Add Vanilla: Once the pudding has thickened, remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract for that lovely aroma and flavor.

Chill and Serve: Let it cool slightly, then transfer to bowls or cups. You can refrigerate it for a more chilled dessert, or enjoy it warm.

Optional Garnish:
Top with whipped cream, fresh fruit, or a sprinkle of cinnamon for added flair!

This quick vanilla pudding is incredibly creamy and satisfying! Enjoy your dessert in no time!
