Creamy rich and so good, a good quality pure vanilla extract will only improve this pudding even more! This takes minutes to make just mix everything in a saucepan and stir until thickened! Make certain to use a heavy-bottomed saucepan for this to prevent scorching or it can also be made in the microwave removing to stir a few times.
