Ingredients

  • cup Sugar
  • 1 � tbsp Cornstarch
  • 1 cup Whole milk
  • 3 Egg yolk
  • 1 tsp Pure vanilla extract
  • tsp Ground cinnamon, plus extra for garnish
  • 2 cups Mascarpone cheese

For Topping:

Instructions

  • Place 6 to 8 small bowls or ramekins onto a baking sheet. In a small mixing bowl, whisk the sugar with the cornstarch to combine.
  • In a pot, mix in milk with the sugar mixture and continue to whisk. Then, start to bring to a simmer over medium heat.
  • While the milk is heating up, whisk the egg yolks in a bowl. As the milk simmers, gradually pour it over the eggs while whisking constantly. Continue to mix for a while after all the milk has been poured in, then return the mixture to the pot.
  • Cook the pudding over medium-low heat (while also whisking constantly) until the mixture begins to bubble or boil from the center of the pot, 1 to 2 minutes more.
  • Remove from the heat and add in the vanilla, cinnamon and mascarpone cheese. Continue to mix until completely smooth.
  • Pour the pudding into the prepared ramekins and cover the tray with plastic wrap. Refrigerate until cool for at least 30 minutes.
  • For the topping, whip the heavy cream and sugar until it forms medium peaks. Then, place a tablespoon of whipped cream on top of each pudding. Top them off with a sprinkle of cinnamon and some fresh berries.
