This vanilla pudding recipe with raisins is perfect for those moments when you want to treat yourself or impress your guests without spending hours in the kitchen. This classic recipe, reimagined in individual servings, turns each glass into a little culinary gem. Total preparation time: 45 minutes Cooking time: 30 minutes Cooling time: 1 hour (or as long as you like) Servings: 6 Necessary ingredients: - 1 liter of milk (preferably cold) - 5 egg yolks - 150 grams of granulated sugar - 6 tablespoons of cornstarch - 2 packets of vanilla sugar (or 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract) - 75 grams of butter - 100 grams of raisins - 2-3 tablespoons of rum essence - For decoration: - 50 grams of milk chocolate - 1 tablespoon of sunflower oil - Decorative toppings (optional) Ingredient tips: - Choose fresh, high-quality milk, as it will influence the final taste of the pudding. Cold milk is essential to avoid lumps. - Raisins can be replaced with other dried fruits, such as apricots or figs, to add a personal touch to the dessert. - Butter adds a rich texture to the pudding, but it can be omitted for a lighter version. Step-by-step preparation: 1. Preparing the raisins: Start by blanching the raisins. Place them in a small bowl with hot water for 10-15 seconds, then drain. After that, add the rum essence and let them hydrate for 10 minutes. This step will enhance the flavor and texture of the raisins, making them soft and delicious. 2. Mixing the dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the sugar, vanilla sugar, and cornstarch. Mix well to avoid clumping. 3. Incorporating the egg yolks: Add the egg yolks to the dry ingredient mixture. Use a whisk to incorporate them evenly. 4. Adding the milk: Gradually add the cold milk while continuously mixing to achieve a smooth composition. It’s important not to use hot milk, as it may cause the mixture to clump. 5. Cooking the pudding in a double boiler: Transfer the mixture to a double boiler. Here, over low heat, stir constantly with a wooden spatula. This step is crucial to prevent the pudding from sticking to the bottom of the pot. Continue stirring until the pudding thickens, which may take between 10 and 15 minutes. 6. Finishing the pudding: Once the pudding has thickened, remove the pot from the heat and continue stirring for another 2-3 minutes to allow the warm air to escape. Add the butter and mix well to incorporate it into the pudding. 7. Pouring the pudding into containers: Pour the warm pudding into glasses or cups, filling them evenly. Add a few raisins to each glass, gently stirring to distribute them evenly. 8. Cooling: Allow the pudding to cool to room temperature, then place the glasses in the refrigerator to chill completely for about an hour. 9. Decorating: When the pudding is cold, melt the chocolate in a double boiler along with the sunflower oil. This will help the chocolate to be fluid and easy to pour. Decorate each serving of pudding with the melted chocolate and add decorative toppings if desired. 10. Serving: Your dessert is ready to be enjoyed! You can add a fresh mint leaf for an elegant touch and an extra hint of flavor. Nutritional benefits: This vanilla pudding with raisins is not only a delicious dessert but also a source of nutrients. Milk provides calcium and protein, while eggs add essential vitamins and iron. Raisins are rich in antioxidants and can aid digestion. Frequently asked questions: - Can I use plant-based milk? Yes, you can use almond or coconut milk, but you may need to adjust the amount of cornstarch to achieve the right consistency. - How can I prevent the pudding from clumping? Make sure to stir constantly while cooking and use cold milk. - Can I prepare the pudding in advance? Absolutely! It can be made a day ahead and kept in the refrigerator, becoming even more flavorful. Possible variations: - For a citrus note, you can add a bit of lemon or orange zest to the pudding mixture. - Instead of raisins, you can use cranberries or candied cherries for a different flavor. This vanilla pudding with raisins in a glass is an excellent choice for any occasion, whether it’s a family dinner or an elegant dessert for a party. Let yourself be carried away by the delicate flavors and fine texture of this dessert, and each bite will be a true delight! Bon appétit!
