Equipment

  • 1 medium mixing bowl
  • 1 Whisk
  • 1 Saucepan
  • 6 Ramekins or small cups
  • 1 Grater
  • 1 Baking sheet

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoon molasses
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate shavings

Instructions
 

  • In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together cornstarch and 1/4 cup of the milk until smooth.
  • In a saucepan, combine the remaining milk, heavy cream, sugar, molasses, ground ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
  • Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
  • Gradually whisk the cornstarch mixture into the simmering milk mixture, continuing to whisk until the pudding thickens.
  • Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Pour the pudding evenly into the ramekins or small cups.
  • Allow the pudding to cool for about 10 minutes before transferring to the refrigerator to set.
  • Once chilled, use a grater to shave white chocolate over the top of each pudding cup.
  • Serve the gingerbread pudding cups chilled, garnished with additional white chocolate shavings if desired.

Notes

For best results, ensure that the cornstarch is fully dissolved in the milk before combining it with the hot mixture to prevent lumps. Stir the mixture consistently while it's on heat to avoid burning. Adjust the spices according to your taste preference, and feel free to add a dollop of whipped cream on top for an extra indulgent touch.
