Description
These Homemade Vanilla Pudding Cups are such a cute and fun dessert. Better yet, they're easy to make and filled with wonderful vanilla flavor!
Ingredients
Scale
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 3 1/2 cups half-and-half
- 3 large egg yolks
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a medium sauce pan add the sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Whisk to combine.
- While whisking, slowly add the half-and-half until till combined.
- Add the egg yolks and whisk to combine.
- Over medium-high heat bring the mixture to a simmer, whisking constantly but gently. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring constantly, until the pudding thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 2 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and add the butter and vanilla, stir to combine. Pour the hot pudding into six 1-cup wide-mouth mason jars, filling the jars an inch from the top. Add a flat lid and then screw on the ring to close the jars.
- Refrigerate until the pudding is set, about 3 hours.
- Eat the pudding right out of the mason jars. Add sprinkles before eating for extra smiles.
Notes
- You can swap the half and half for 3 cups of whole milk.
- You don't have to add this to individual jars, it's just fun. You can place the pudding in a large bowl to serve instead of 6 individual containers.Â
- You can use salted butter, just omit the salt in the recipe.Â
