Custard Pudding
Today is Christmas Eve, people. And before I forget, let me wish you all a very happy holiday. I hope you all get to spend some quality time with loved ones. And for those taking a trip this holiday, stay safe and stay warm. I am sure most of you are looking forward to sit down for a dinner with family and friends, I know I can’t wait for evening to come. And if, for some reason, you still need a simple dessert recipe, look no further folks. Here is a truly simple dessert recipe, which I am quite certain your pantry (and fridge) will most likely have all the required ingredients: eggs, milk, vanilla, and sugar.
I know its nothing grand like fruit cake, or apple pie, or buche de noel. But we are talking last minute right, plus a good dessert is a good dessert, and custard pudding, in my book, is always a good dessert to have, regardless the event. Plus, this is so easy, you can even enlist the kids’ help to make the dessert :)

- Pudding
- Whisk all pudding ingredients together until the sugar has completely melted. Strain into 4 ramekins.
- Pour 1 inch of water in a 12" skillet with a lid, and bring to a boil.
- Wrap the lid with kitchen towel. (This is to prevent water droplets dripping into the pudding.)
