- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional: whipped cream and crushed nuts for topping
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, whole milk, and heavy cream over medium heat.
- In a small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in 2 tablespoons of cold water and add to the milk mixture.
- Add the salt and cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens and begins to bubble, about 5–7 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
- Pour the pudding into serving dishes and let cool slightly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until fully chilled.
- Before serving, top with whipped cream and crushed nuts if desired.
Notes
- Adjust the thickness by using more or less cornstarch to your preference.
- Use a fine mesh sieve if you want an ultra-smooth texture.
- This pudding pairs well with a sprinkle of sea salt or cinnamon.
