Ingredients
  • 4 cups whole milk (find raw milk)
  • 4 cups whole milk (find raw milk)
  • 3 TBSP butter (preferably pastured)
  • 3 TBSP butter (preferably pastured)
  • 2 eggs (preferably pastured)
  • 2 eggs (preferably pastured)
  • ¼ cup organic cane sugar OR ½ cup of honey (get free honey here)
  • ¼ cup organic cane sugar OR ½ cup of honey (get free honey here)
  • 4 TBSP vanilla extract (I like this one)
  • 4 TBSP vanilla extract (I like this one)
  • ½ tsp turmeric (Did you know turmeric is one of the best anti-inflammatories out there? Since we're consuming sugar, why not add turmeric for both color and it's health properties? You can buy the most potent turmeric on the market from Pure Indian Foods.)
  • ½ tsp turmeric (Did you know turmeric is one of the best anti-inflammatories out there? Since we're consuming sugar, why not add turmeric for both color and it's health properties? You can buy the most potent turmeric on the market from Pure Indian Foods.)
  • Optional: 2 tsp gelatin from pastured animals (buy my favorite brand directly from the manufacturer here or purchase on Amazon)
Instructions
  1. In a heavy bottomed pot, heat the milk on medium heat. Do not let it boil. Keep it just below a simmer.
  2. In a small mixing bowl, whisk the sugar/honey and the eggs until it doubles in size and becomes fluffy.
  3. When the milk is hot, ladle 1 cup into the mixing bowl and whisk with the eggs and sugar until smooth.
  4. Add this back to the pot, along with the vanilla extract and turmeric, and stir continuously for approximately 5 minutes or until it reaches a thicker, creamier consistency.
  5. At this point, you can also add gelatin if you like. Gelatin is great for joints, nails, and hair, so I like to add it to pudding and coffee, soups, stews---lots of things! It will make the pudding less creamy and more like flan after it cools, so, just beware that it will change the texture a little.
  6. Lastly, pour into bowls and refrigerate until cool. If you want to eat it faster, throw it in the freezer (but don't forget about it!)
