1

Start by whisking together dark brown sugar, cornstarch, and kosher salt in a mixing bowl.

2

Add egg yolks to the dry mixture and whisk until combined, creating a paste.

3

Choose a medium-sized pot with high sides to prevent splattering and allow for boiling.

4

Slowly add whole milk to the egg mixture, a little at a time, whisking constantly to avoid overwhelming the mixture.

5

Place the pot on medium heat and whisk continuously until the mixture starts to thicken and boil.

6

Once boiling, start a one-minute timer and continue whisking to ensure a smooth pudding without foam.

7

After one minute, turn off the heat and add unsalted butter and vanilla extract, whisking until fully incorporated.

8

Transfer the pudding to a lined baking sheet to cool, covering with plastic wrap and poking holes to prevent a skin from forming.

9

Chill the pudding in the refrigerator for about an hour before serving.

10

Once chilled, pipe the pudding into serving dishes and top with whipped cream that has been whipped to soft peaks with confectioners sugar.
