Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (125 ml) maple syrup (see note)
- 2 cups (500 ml) milk
- 3 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 egg yolks
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1/3 cup (75 g) unsalted butter, softened (see note)
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) maple syrup
- 1 tbsp maple sugar or brown sugar
- 1/2 cup (75 g) unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup (125 ml) 35% whipping cream
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) maple syrup
Instructions
- In a pot, bring the maple syrup to a boil. Over medium-high heat, cook the syrup without stirring until caramelized and starting to reduce, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool while you prepare the remaining ingredients.
- In a large bowl, whisk half of the milk (1 cup/250 ml) with the cornstarch and egg yolks. Add the remaining milk and mix well.
- Gradually whisk the milk mixture into the pot of maple syrup. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly and scraping the bottom and sides of the pot, until the mixture thickens. Remove from the heat. Stir in the butter.
- Transfer the pudding to a bowl and let cool. Cover the surface directly with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 6 hours or until the pudding is firm and completely chilled. The pudding will keep for 3 days in the refrigerator. When ready to serve, mix the pudding with a spatula until creamy and smooth.
Sweet treats shouldn’t only be reserved for weekends. When you want to satisfy your sweet tooth with simple ingredients you already have on hand, turn to this pudding made with a more pronounced dark maple syrup. You can turn it into something a little more indulgent and gourmet by adding whipped cream and a maple shortbread crumble, both crumbly and melt-in-your-mouth, which adds a delightful touch to this comforting recipe.
