Rum Pudding Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 cup sugar
• 4 tablespoons cornstarch
• 4 cups whole milk
• 4 egg yolks
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1/4 cup dark rum
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Whipped cream (optional)

Instructions:

1. In a large saucepan, whisk together sugar and cornstarch.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together milk and egg yolks.
3. Gradually whisk the milk mixture into the sugar mixture. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a boil, about 15 minutes.
4. Remove from heat and stir in butter, rum, and vanilla extract. Pour into individual serving dishes and refrigerate until set, at least 2 hours. Serve with whipped cream if desired.

Verdict:

This rum pudding is rich and creamy with just the right amount of rum flavor. It’s the perfect dessert for any special occasion or just as a treat for yourself. The addition of whipped cream adds a lightness to the dish that pairs perfectly with the smooth pudding.

Serving Suggestions:

This pudding is best served chilled and can be enjoyed on its own or with a dollop of whipped cream. To make it even more decadent, you can top it with chocolate shavings or fresh fruit.
