1
Heat the Milk
In a medium saucepan, pour in 2 cups of milk and heat over medium heat until it begins to steam, but do not let it boil.
2
Combine Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, mix together 1 cup of sugar, 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, and a pinch of salt. Stir until well combined.
3
Add Dry Ingredients to Milk
Once the milk is steaming, gradually whisk in the dry ingredient mixture to avoid lumps. Continue to whisk until the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
4
Add Vanilla Extract
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

5
Add Optional Flavorings
If desired, add 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder or peanut butter, or 1 cup of fruit puree to the pudding base. Stir well to combine.
6
Cool the Mixture
Allow the pudding mixture to cool to room temperature. You can speed this up by placing it in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes.
7
Freeze the Pudding
Once cool, pour the pudding into a freezer-safe container. Cover securely and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
8
Serve
To serve, scoop the frozen pudding into bowls. If too hard, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly before serving.
