Elder Scrolls Honey Pudding

Ingredients

• 2 cup whole milk
• 1 vanilla bean (Or 1 tsp vanilla extract.)
• 0.25 cup white sugar
• 0.5 cup honey
• 1 cup heavy cream (Whipping cream may be used instead.)
• 3 tbsp cornstarch
• 3 egg yolks
• salt (A pinch.)

Steps

1. 1

   Pour the milk into a medium pot and place it over medium heat.

2. 2

   Using a sharp knife, split the vanilla bean lengthwise and scrape out the seeds.

3. 3

   Add the vanilla seeds and the vanilla pod to the milk. Bring the milk to just under a boil.

4. 4

   Add the sugar and honey to the milk. Stir for a few minutes to allow the vanilla to steep into the milk.

5. 5

   Remove the vanilla pod from the pot, scrape any remaining seeds from it, and discard the pod.

6. 6

   In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, cornstarch, egg yolks, and salt.

7. 7

   While continuing to whisk, pour a little of the hot milk into the cream mixture to temper it.

8. 8

   Pour the tempered mixture back into the pot with the remaining milk.

9. 9

   Cook for about 5 minutes more, stirring continuously, until the mixture has thickened noticeably.

10. 10

    Remove the pot from the heat and strain the pudding into a clean bowl.

11. 11

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill for at least 1 hour, until the pudding has set.

Notes

The source states that the pudding should chill for at least 1 hour. The recipe does not specify a serving temperature or whether the plastic wrap should touch the surface. The source notes that half-and-half can substitute for heavy cream, though this is reported in a comment rather than the main recipe.
