[CHRISTMAS-RECIPE] CUBAN PUDDING

CUBAN PUDDING


1 quart whole milk
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 piece of lime rind
1 cinnamon stick
8 egg yolks
1&1/2 cups light brown sugar
1/3 cup cornstarch
1/2 cup water
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
grated coconut (optional)
nutmeg and/or cinnamon for dusting


Pour the milk into a 4-quart saucepan. Add salt, lime rind, and cinnamon stick, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Let cool. Remove cinnamon stick and lime rind.


Beat egg yolks with an electric mixer until fluffy. Continue beating and gradually add sugar until creamy. Gradually add milk until smooth. Place the mixture in the top half of a double boiler over high heat and begin to cook, stirring occasionally until it's bubbling hot.


Mix cornstarch with water and add to the mixture, stirring constantly until it thickens. Add more cornstarch mixed with water as needed to achieve a thick pudding-like consistency.


If desired, stir in a teaspoon of ground cinnamon and a handful of grated coconut after the mixture thickens. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring constantly.


Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Pour into individual serving bowls or custard cups. Chill completely in refrigerator. Sprinkle nutmeg or cinnamon on top just before serving.


Serves 8
