How to Make Vanilla Pudding Reduced Fat

  1. In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, and 1/4 teaspoon salt until well combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups whole milk (or 2% milk for even lower fat) and 2 large eggs until light and frothy.
  3. Gradually whisk the milk mixture into the sugar mixture, ensuring no lumps form. Whisk continuously.
  4. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the pudding thickens and begins to bubble. This will take about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Continue whisking constantly for 1 additional minute after the pudding starts bubbling.
  6. Remove the saucepan from the heat.
  7. Stir in 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract.
  8. For immediate serving, enjoy warm. Alternatively, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming.
  9. Cool the pudding to room temperature.
  10. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until thoroughly chilled, before serving.
