Ingredients
2egg yolks - about 43g
50gcaster sugar
1/2tspvanilla extract - optional
500gfresh milk
50gcornstarch
1cheddar cheese slice - optional
1beaten egg yolk - for glazing
Instructions
In a pot add egg yolks, sugar and vanilla extract, stir well. Then fresh milk and stir mixture well again and strain.
Return milk mixture to the pot, add cornstarch and stir well to smooth.
Heat the milk mixture at medium low and drop in the cheese slice and stir until melted. Then turn to low heat, continuously stir batter for about 2 minutes (to avoid burnt at the bottom) to thicken and look like thick cooked custard and off heat.
Pour hot custard mixture into a 5 inch mould (grease oil ), then cover with cling wrap and flatten with a spatula. Remove cling wrap. **or use a small baking dish or individual small mould to make this dessert.
Leave mould to cool completely and cover with cling wrap, place it inside the refrigerator to chill overnight to make sure it fully solidifies.
Gently remove pudding from mould and brush with beaten egg yolk on top. Then place it inside the toaster oven under grill at 200 degrees C for about 12-15 minutes or the top starting to turn golden brown. You may slice the pudding into pieces, apply egg wash and bake if you wish.
Serve pudding warm or chill it in the refrigerator until it is ready to serve. Enjoy! (Personally, I prefer to serve it chilled)
Notes
This milk pudding can be served right after chilled without baking
