This 5-Minute Homemade Dessert Is Proof That Simple Can Be Spectacular


 

How to Make It

  1. Mix the Base
    In a saucepan (off heat), whisk together the milk, sugar, and cornstarch until completely smooth. Make sure there are no lumps—this is the key to a silky texture.

  2. Cook Until Creamy
    Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir continuously. Within 3–4 minutes, the mixture will thicken into a smooth, custard-like consistency.

  3. Add Flavor
    Once thick, remove from heat and stir in the butter and vanilla extract. Mix until glossy and fully combined.

  4. Serve
    Pour the dessert into a glass or serving dish. Smooth the top with a spoon.

  5. Finish with Spice
    Sprinkle cinnamon or nutmeg generously over the top for warmth and aroma.


How to Enjoy It

  • Serve warm for instant comfort

  • Chill for 30 minutes if you prefer a firmer, pudding-like texture

  • Add crushed biscuits, honey, or caramel drizzle for variation
