Rich & creamy milk pudding recipe with garnishes

INGREDIENTS

4 cups (1 L) Milk divided

1/2 cup (125 mL) granulated sugar

1/3 cup (75 mL) cornstarch

2 tsp (10 mL) rosewater (optional)

1 to 3 tsp (5 to 15 mL) vanilla

1/4 cup (60 mL) raisins

1/2 tsp (2 mL) cinnamon

PREPARATION

In a large saucepan, stir 3 cups (750 mL) milk with sugar. Set over medium-high heat, stir and bring to a simmer.

Place remaining milk in a medium bowl. Whisk in cornstarch until dissolved. Once milk reaches a simmer, whisking continuously, add cornstarch mixture. Bring to a full rolling boil; stir continuously until mixture thickens, 1 to 2 min. Remove from heat; stir in rosewater, if using, and 1 tsp (5 mL) vanilla. If not using rosewater, stir in 3 tsp (15 mL) vanilla.

Pour into a bowl or individual serving dishes. To prevent a skin from forming, place plastic wrap on surface of pudding. Refrigerate at least 4 hours or until set. Discard plastic wrap. Sprinkle with raisins and cinnamon or your favourite toppings.
