Ingredients

  • 2 large egg yolks

  5. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly.

Notes

  • Whisk constantly to avoid lumps and ensure a silky texture.
  • Press plastic wrap directly onto the pudding surface to prevent a skin from forming.
  • For chocolate flavor, add 2 tablespoons cocoa powder.
  • Use plant-based milk and butter alternatives for a dairy-free version.
  • Add mashed fruit or extracts for flavor variations.
