Strawberry Pudding

Directions

1. 1
   In a medium saucepan, mix the milk together first with all the ingredients EXCEPT the egg whites and vanilla, with a wooden spoon or whisk. Don't turn on the heat yet.
2. 2
   Whisk in the egg whites to the mixture, make sure there's no lumps.
3. 3
   3Carefully fold in the vanilla, making sure there's no lumpiness once again.
4. 4
   Now turn on the heat to medium-high and whisk while it's heating, uncovered.
5. 5
   Let stand for about a minute until it starts to boil. Keep mixing, and let the heat continue until the mixture thickens.
6. 6
   When it thickens to a good pudding-like consistency, turn the heat off, and keep beating it with the wooden spoon or whisk to beat any lumps out and disperse the flavors properly.
7. 7
   Pour into individual serving cups/ramekins/giant serving bowl whatever your choice is.
8. 8
   Make sure you wrap the entire open area(s) with clingwrap! This is important to make sure an icky skin or gelatin-like consistency doesn't happen. (Props to Molly from Cooking Q&A for this tip, it really worked! :) ).
9. 9
   Let set for at least 3 hours in the fridge prior to eating.
10. 10
    Top with some whipped cream and enjoy! (Especially that Reddi Whip strawberry stuff for an intense berry overload.).
