Creamy Sweetened Milk Dessert (Easy Milk Pudding)

Ingredients

• 2 cups (500 ml) milk (whole milk is best)

• 3 tbsp sugar (adjust to taste)

• 2 tbsp cornstarch (or custard powder)

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 1 tbsp butter or cream (optional, for extra richness)

• Pinch of salt

Instructions

1. Mix the thickener
   In a small bowl, whisk cornstarch with ¼ cup cold milk until smooth (no lumps).

2. Heat the milk
   In a saucepan, heat the remaining milk with sugar and salt over medium heat. Stir until sugar dissolves.

3. Thicken it up
   Slowly pour in the cornstarch mixture while stirring constantly.

4. Cook
   Keep stirring (important!) until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 3–5 minutes.

5. Finish
   Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla and butter/cream if using.

6. Chill or serve warm
   Pour into bowls.

   • Serve warm = cozy comfort dessert

   • Chill 2–3 hours = smooth, pudding-like texture
