Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract. Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer, beat the mixture until smooth and well combined. Set aside.
-
In a saucepan, heat the whole milk over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Be careful not to let it boil.
-
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water until smooth, creating a slurry.
-
Slowly whisk the cornstarch slurry into the heated milk, stirring constantly until the mixture begins to thicken, about 3-5 minutes.
-
Once the milk mixture has thickened, remove it from heat and gradually pour it into the cream cheese mixture, whisking constantly to combine all the ingredients thoroughly.
-
Add the salt to the mixture and continue whisking until smooth and creamy.
-
Divide the pudding mixture into individual serving cups or ramekins. Cover with plastic wrap, making sure the wrap touches the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming.
-
Chill the pudding cups in the refrigerator for at least 3-4 hours, or overnight, to allow the pudding to set and firm up.
-
Before serving, garnish each pudding cup with crushed graham crackers and fresh berries, if desired, to add a delightful texture and a pop of color.
