This is a quick and easy to prepare dessert. I usually always have the ingredients on hand. There are boxed versions of this pudding, but it is traditionally prepared at home. You can add more or less cornstarch if preferred. This dessert is so versatile that it can be served warm or chilled. I love to eat it both ways, when it chills it firms up. by chef FIFI 8 min 1 min prep 4 cups milk 1/2 cup cornstarch 1 teaspoon vanilla sugar (to taste) Toppings ground cinnamon (to taste) unsweetened dried shredded coconut (to taste) chopped pistachios (to taste) 1.
