Pudding Base

Almond Toffee

Method

Pudding Base

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pudding Base

    In a medium saucepan, whisk together granulated sugar, brown sugar, cornstarch, and salt.

  2. 2

    Add the Milk

    Gradually add milk to the dry ingredients while whisking continuously to avoid lumps.

  3. 3

    Heat the Mixture

    Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and starts to bubble.

  4. 4

    Incorporate Egg Yolks

    In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Gradually add a small amount of the hot pudding mixture to the egg yolks to temper them, then whisk the egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan.

  5. 5

    Add Butter and Vanilla

    Remove the saucepan from heat, then stir in the unsalted butter and vanilla extract until fully combined.

  6. 6

    Chill the Pudding

    Pour the pudding into individual serving dishes or a large bowl. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

Whipped Cream

  1. 7

    Whip the Cream

    In a mixing bowl, pour the heavy cream, then add powdered sugar and vanilla extract.

  2. 8

    Beat to Soft Peaks

    Using an electric mixer, beat the mixture on medium-high speed until soft peaks form.

  3. 9

    Chill the Whipped Cream

    Once whipped, refrigerate until ready to use.

Almond Toffee

  1. 10

    Prepare the Toffee Mixture

    In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the sugar and stir constantly until the mixture comes to a boil.

  2. 11

    Cook the Toffee

    Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture turns a deep golden color, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 12

    Add Almonds

    Stir in the sliced almonds and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.

  4. 13

    Cool and Break

    Pour the toffee mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and let it cool completely before breaking into pieces.
