I love pudding! My mom would always make pudding the neighborhood kids and I. Those were good memories.

I thought this was delicious. I only had one vanilla bean, so I used a little vanilla bean paste as well.

DO NOT DISCARD the used vanilla bean!!!! Put it in your sugar canister for yummy vanilla infused sugar.

I must have messed something up. I knew it wouldn’t be perfect because halfway through prep I discovered I was out of cornstarch. However, I followed the rest of the recipe. I was concerned about throwing raw egg yolk into boiling milk, so I tempered it first. I also waited to put in the vanilla extract until the very end. Other than that, I followed the instructions.

The pudding didn’t set beautifully because I substituted flour for cornstarch and likely didn’t use enough. However, the flavor was just so bland. I was surprised. I don’t know what I did wrong. There’s so much vanilla in the recipe…it should blow you away!

I will definitely try again once I buy some more cornstarch…and hope that’s the issue!
