Ingredients

  • 4 cups milk
  • ½ cup cornstarch
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup pistachios
  • ¼ cup walnuts

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the 1/2 cup cornstarch and 1/2 cup sugar. Gradually whisk in 1 cup of the 4 cups milk until smooth, making a slurry.

  2. 2

    Pour the remaining 3 cups milk into a large saucepan. Whisk in the slurry and place over medium heat.

  3. 3

    Cook, stirring constantly with a whisk, until the mixture thickens and just begins to bubble, about 10-12 minutes. It should coat the back of a spoon.

  4. 4

    Remove from heat and stir in the 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Pour the pudding into 4 serving glasses or bowls.

  5. 5

    Let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until set, at least 2 hours. Before serving, chop the 1/4 cup pistachios and 1/4 cup walnuts and sprinkle over the top.

  6. 6

    Serve chilled, topped with the crushed nuts.
