Ingredients:
- 2 cups milk (or a dairy-free alternative)
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Whipped cream (for serving, optional)
- Ground cinnamon (for garnish, optional)
Instructions:
- In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, sugar, cornstarch, ground cinnamon, ground cardamom, ground ginger, and salt. Whisk the ingredients together until the cornstarch is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it begins to thicken and bubble. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Be sure to keep stirring to prevent the pudding from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- Once the pudding has thickened, remove it from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Allow the pudding to cool slightly before transferring it to serving cups.
- Cover the cups with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the pudding is set. If you prefer to serve it warm, you can skip this step and enjoy it right away.
- Before serving, you can top the pudding with whipped cream and a sprinkle of ground cinnamon for added flavor and presentation.
Extra Tips:
For an extra depth of flavor, consider steeping whole spices like cardamom pods and cinnamon sticks in the milk for 10-15 minutes before straining and continuing with the recipe. You can also experiment by adding a splash of almond or coconut milk for a different twist. This pudding can be made a day in advance, making it a convenient option for parties or special occasions.
Enjoy your flavorful dessert!
