Eggless Vanilla Pudding

Creamy, silky, and deeply fragrant with real vanilla, this stovetop pudding is the kind of comfort dessert that feels both nostalgic and a little fancy at the same time. Most classic pudding recipes lean on egg yolks for richness and thickening, but this one skips them entirely — cornstarch does all the heavy lifting, pulling the whole milk into a luscious, spoonable texture without any fuss. A finishing stir of butter and vanilla extract gives it that glossy, smooth finish you'd expect from something far more complicated. The straining step is a small but brilliant move that guarantees every cup comes out perfectly silky with zero lumps. It makes four generous servings, so it's just right for a family dinner or a make-ahead treat you can stash in the fridge for the week. Two hours of chilling is all it takes before you're peeling back the plastic wrap and digging into something genuinely satisfying.
