PUDDIN'S VANILLA PUDDING

"It may seem like heresy to some, but I love vanilla so much that chocolate comes in a distant second. Growing up, I got in the habit of dabbing my mom's Madagascar vanilla extract behind my ears, and it quickly became my signature scent. I usually avoid using flavor extracts in my recipes, but this one is an exception-the round, floral, and musky notes of good-quality vanilla extract reinforce the flavor achieved by infusing the milk and cream with a scraped vanilla bean. And you can forget about vanilla's reputation for being "boring - even sworn chocoholics are converted once they taste this version. One spoonful of this pure, simple treat, and you'll see why."
2 1/2 cups whole milk
2 1/2 cups heavy (whipping) cream
1 vanilla bean, split, seeds scraped out and reserved
1 cup sugar
6 tablespoons cornstarch
6 egg yolks
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
In a medium saucepan heat the milk, cream, and vanilla bean and seeds until steaming but not bailing. Remove from heat and allow to steep 30 minutes. Chill completely in refrigerator, 1 to 2 hours.
Add sugar, cornstarch, egg yolks and salt to saucepan and whisk vigorously.
Place pot over medium-high heat and cook, whisking constantly, until mixture begins to thicken, 5 to 6 minutes. (Once you can lift the whisk from the pudding and it leaves a faint shadow, it's done. Pudding will seem fairly loose, nut it will thicken up further as it chills.)
Strain the pudding through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing pudding through sieve with a silicone spatula. Whisk in vanilla extract.
Cool at room temperature for 10 minutes, press a layer of plastic wrap onto the surface of the pudding, and chill completely in refrigerator, 2 hours.
Makes 6-8 servings
