How to Make Homemade Vanilla Pudding - Simple Recipe with Cinnamon, Cardamom and Star Anise

Yummy and easy recipe for making homemade vanilla pudding. Enjoy the pudding spoon by spoon or bake a juicy and crunchy puff pastry plum cake with it.

Ingredients:

• 4 egg yolks
• 80 g sugar
• 45 g flour
• 250 ml milk
• 250 ml cream
• 1/2 vanilla pod
• 1 tsp spice mixture (4 cinnamon sticks, 1 star anise, a few cardamom pods)

Instructions:

1. Mix the egg yolk, sugar and 50ml milk in a bowl to a foamy mass. Then add the flour until everything is creamy. Put the bowl aside.
2. For the spice mixture: Put the cinnamon sticks, star anise and cardamom seeds into a blender. Blend it until you have a fine powder. Only a teaspoon of the mixture is used, the rest can be stored in a can/jar.
3. Cut the vanilla pod in half, separate lengthwise and scrape the seeds out of the vanilla pod.
4. Put the rest of the milk, cream, vanilla pulp and a teaspoon of the spice mixture in a cooking pot. Bring it to boil, then lower the temperature.
5. Add the egg yolk foam from the mixing bowl while stirring. Stir until the mixture thickens. Important: Just heat it up! Don’t bring it back to boiling.
6. Fill the pudding into a jar.

Tip: We always make a little more from the spice mixture. The mixture is perfect for refining muesli, fruit salad or coffee.
