From Dvo.com with small changes most notably direction deciphering. I hope to sometime in the near future try this recipe substituting coconut milk for the cow's milk.

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 10

3/4 c sugar
3 1/2 Tbsp arrowroot powder (which replaced cornstarch)
pinch salt
2 eggs
3 c milk (whole milk for best results and flavor)
1 tsp vanilla paste or vanilla extract
1 Tbsp tequila anejo or rum (optional)
GARNISHES:
2-3 Tbsp sliced almonds
freshly grated nutmeg

Steps:

  • 1. Note: I used a teflon sauce pan to prepare this recipe. In a heavy medium nonreactive saucepan, mix the sugar with the arrowroot and salt. Whisk together the milk and eggs then stir into the sugar mixture until incorporated.
  • 2. Heat until hot but *not* boiling over medium-low heat, whisking constantly, and cook until thickened, about 6 to 8 minutes. Reduce heat if necessary.
  • 3. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla paste/extract (and the tequila or rum, if using.) Transfer to a bowl.
  • 4. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly on the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming on top. Refrigerate until cold, at least 2 hours. Note: this pudding will have a creamy soft consistency and won't set up as firmly as its commercial counterpart (boxed instant pudding).
  • 5. Spoon into small dessert bowls and serve cold. Garnish with the sliced almonds and freshly grated nutmeg.

This pudding was a great way to use up some leftover milk. It was easy to make and very tasty.

This is the best vanilla pudding I've ever had! I'll definitely be making it again and again.

I'm not a big fan of Mexican vanilla, but this pudding was still really good. The texture was perfect and it wasn't too sweet.

This pudding was a bit bland. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

This pudding is a great make-ahead dessert. I made it the night before and it was perfect for our party the next day.

Not a fan of the texture. It was a bit too thick for my liking.

This Mexican vanilla pudding was a hit at my dinner party! It was creamy, flavorful, and disappeared quickly. I will definitely be making this again.
