HOMEMADE VANILLA PUDDING

Steps:

• Heat Milk - In a medium saucepan heat the milk until it starts to bubble, over medium heat. Make sure to stir occasionally so that it doesn't burn on the bottom, and watch it so that it doesn't boil over.
• Combine Dry Ingredients - In a bowl, combine the cornstarch, sugar and salt. Add to the hot milk, a little at a time, stirring continuously to dissolve.
• Add Wet Ingredients - In another bowl beat the egg and gradually stir a couple ladles of the hot milk mixture into the egg (this is called tempering), then pour this mixture back into the saucepan. Continue to boil and stir for another minute, then remove from heat. Stir in the butter and vanilla extract until the butter has melted and the pudding is smooth.
• Chill and Serve - Pour the pudding into dessert dishes, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled before serving.

LIGHTER CREAMY VANILLA RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• Heat oven to 150C/130C fan/gas 2. Grease a 1.2-litre (about 5cm deep) ovenproof baking dish (see tip, below left) and stand it on a baking tray. Tip the rice into a pan with both the sugars and all the milk. Split the ½ vanilla pod horizontally, scrape out the seeds into the pan and drop in the pod. Heat the milk, whisking. As it is about to come to the boil, immediately remove from the heat. Pour the mixture into the dish, scraping out all the rice and seeds from the bottom of the pan.
• Bake for 30 mins, then remove and stir. Return the pudding to the oven for another 30 mins. Stir again and return for a further 25-30 mins until the rice is cooked and has absorbed enough of the milk to give the mixture a creamy consistency.
• Remove the pudding, let it sit for 1-2 mins, then stir in the crème fraîche to make it extra creamy. Serve with raspberries, if you like.

THE BEST BANANA PUDDING

Steps:

• Bring the milk to a simmer in a large saucepan over medium heat, then remove from the heat. Meanwhile, whisk the sugar, cornstarch, egg yolks, vanilla paste and salt together in a medium bowl.
• While whisking, slowly add about 1 cup of the warm milk to the egg mixture. Pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan, whisking constantly. Continue to cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil. Lower the heat to maintain a simmer and cook until thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the butter.
• Transfer the pudding to a large bowl and press a piece of plastic wrap directly against the surface. Refrigerate until cold, about 1 hour.
• Arrange 19 wafer cookies in the bottom of a 4-quart trifle dish. Top with 1 cup pudding, then arrange 2 sliced bananas on top. Repeat the layers ending with bananas.
• Add the heavy cream, confectioners' sugar and a pinch of salt to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Beat on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, about 2 minutes.
• Spread the whipped cream over the pudding and sprinkle the crushed wafer cookies around the border. Refrigerate until the pudding is firm, at least 2 hours or up to overnight.

RICH VANILLA CUSTARD SAUCE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• In a medium saucepan, combine the brown sugar, flour, nutmeg or cinnamon, the egg, melted butter, milk, and salt. Whisk until well blended and then place the pan over medium heat.
• Cook, whisking constantly​ until the mixture has thickened and coats the back of the spoon. To test, dip a spoon in the thickened mixture and turn it over. Run a finger down the back of a spoon. If the mixture does not run into the path your finger made, the sauce is done.
• Place a mesh sieve over a bowl and strain the sauce through it. Stir the vanilla extract into the sauce and refrigerate, covered, until serving time.
• Serve and enjoy. 

VANILLA RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan (at least 2.5qt), combine milk, sugar, vanilla bean and salt. Bring it to almost a boil over medium high heat, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar.
• Add rice and reduce heat to medium low. Cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, until the rice is cooked through and the mixture is thick and creamy, about 25 minutes. (Note: Initially, it'll look like way too much liquid, but trust the process and let it cook. It'll thicken and turn so creamy! Don't forget to stir every 4 or so minutes, so the rice doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan.)
• Once the mixture is thick and creamy, discard vanilla bean and stir in raisins and cinnamon, if desired.
• Serve along with additional sugar and milk on the side. To thin out the rice pudding, simply stir in some milk.

BLANCA'S RICH AND CREAMY VANILLA PUDDING

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, combine the cornstarch and salt. Slowly whisk in the whole milk then the sweetened condensed milk until thoroughly combined.
• Heat the mixture over medium heat, whisking constantly and scraping sides and bottom of saucepan.
• When mixture begins to thicken a bit, add about 1 cup of it to the egg yolks. Mix well and then add the egg mixture back to saucepan.
• Cook, stirring constantly, until thickened.
• Strain the pudding through a fine-mesh strainer into a bowl, scraping with a rubber spatula to pass the pudding through. (I know this is an extra step, but it removes any bits of cooked egg, so the pudding is smooth.).
• Stir the butter and vanilla into the pudding until the butter is melted.
• To prevent a skin from forming, press a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the pudding or you can dust it with a little bit of cinnamon and put some raisins on top like my mom does. Refrigerate until set, about 3 hours.

OLD FASHION RICH VANILLA BANANA PUDDING

Steps:

• 1. Removing the vanilla seeds from pod; Place the bean on a flat surface. Hold the bean flat with one hand, and split the bean in half lengthwise with a sharp paring knife. 2. Use the back side of the paring knife's blade to scrape the dark, moist pulp from the bean; that way you will not get any strings from the vanilla pod in the seeds.
• 2. In a large bowl, whisk together egg yolks and sugar.
• 3. In a large saucepan, combine flour and salt
• 4. Whisk in milk and vanilla beans.
• 5. Bring the ingredients to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly.
• 6. Remove from heat. Stir half of hot milk mixture into egg yolk mixture.
• 7. Add egg/milk mixture to the sauce pan with the remaining milk mixture. Return to stove. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until comes to a simmer.
• 8. Once simmering begins, cook, stirring constantly, until thickened, approximately 2 minutes.
• 9. Remove from the heat, stir in butter until melted. Pour pudding in a heat proof bowl, and place saran wrap directly over the pudding, and seal edges. This prevents a "skin" over pudding. Cool the pudding at room temperature for about 2 hours.
• 10. IF USING MERINGUE TOPPING: Preheat oven to 375°F. Line the bottom of a 9×9-inch pan with a layer of vanilla wafers. ​Meringue Topping Ingredients: 5 egg whites, room temperature 6 tablespoons sugar 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract​ ​ Beat the egg whites at high speed until they form soft peaks. Add the cream of tartar. At high speed, gradually add the sugar, a tablespoon at a time, and beat until stiff peaks form. Fold the vanilla into the meringue.
• 11. Place a layer of banana slices on top of the vanilla wafers. Pour half of the pudding over the banana layer. Put down another layer of vanilla wafers, another layer of banana slices, and cover with the remaining pudding. Spread the meringue over the pudding, sealing it at the sides of the dish. Bake until meringue browns, 12 to 15 minutes.
• 12. IF USING WHIPPING CREAM TOPPING: Topping: 1 cup heavy whipping cream 2 1/2 tbsps. confectioners' sugar ½ tsp. vanilla Pour the cream into a well-chilled bowl. Using an electric hand mixer or balloon whisk, beat the cream to the desired consistency. For soft peaks, the cream will be just thick enough to hold its shape in soft billows, about 2-4 minutes Add the vanilla and confectioners' sugar; continue whipping on medium speed until the soft peaks return, 2 to 3 minutes.
• 13. Line each serving glass with a single layer with 3 tablespoons of pudding, 4 broken vanilla wafers then a few slices of banana, then top with whipped cream,
• 14. Repeat creating 3 layers and finishing with a pudding layer. Serve this old fashion rich vanilla banana pudding warm, or refrigerate up to 4 hours to soften the cookies.
• 15. Top each dessert with a generous dollop of whipped cream. Garnish with pumpkin pie spice, a vanilla wafer and slice of banana.

CREAMY VANILLA RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, combine milk, rice, sugar, vanilla caviar and pod, and salt. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring gently.
• Cover pot, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 15 minutes. Uncover pot and continue to cook, stirring often, until rice is very tender and pudding has thickened slightly, about 15 minutes more. Remove pot from heat and let pudding cool for 5 minutes; fish out the vanilla bean pod before transferring to a heatproof bowl.
• refrigerate until cold and thick, at least 4 hours or as long as overnight.
• Tip: may add 2 large egg yolks and a sot of dark rum during the last 5 minutes of cooking for a more grownup twist.
• Note: this recipe calls for medium grain white rice (not long- or short-grain rice), which lends the perfect amount of starch, creaminess, and texture to the pudding.
• Cooking time is cooling time.

RICH VANILLA PUDDING

Steps:

• Split the vanilla bean, scrape out the seeds, and transfer to small mixing bowl. Add 1/4 cup of the milk and whisk vigorously until vanilla seeds are well dispersed. Use the back of a spoon against the sides of the bowl to break up any remaining clumps of seeds. Then add the remaining milk and mix well. In a separate small bowl beat the egg yolks. Set aside. In a heavy cast iron pot or the top of a double boiler, mix the cornstarch, sugar and salt. Set on medium-high heat and slowly pour in the milk, stirring constantly with a heat-resistant silicone spatula. Continue stirring while mixture heats up. Once mixture is steaming and frothy (not boiling), spoon up a 1/4 cup and stir into the egg yolks. Repeat twice. Set aside. Continue to stir the pudding. Once the pudding begins to thicken, add the yolk mixture to the pudding. Continue stirring until mixture comes to a low boil. Boil 1 minute. Remove from heat and add butter chunks, stirring until melted and mixed in. Pour pudding into 6 dishes. Allow to cool for 20-30 minutes. You may serve at room temperature or cover with saran wrap, and refrigerate for 2 or more hours.
