Mascarpone Pudding

Simple yet delicious ... a regular egg custard pudding enhanced with creamy mascarpone cheese. Serve on it's own or use in trifles or fruit parfaits.

Ingredients:

3 eggs

1/2 cup cornstarch

2/3 cup sugar

1/4 tsp vanilla

2 3/4 cup milk

3/4 cup mascarpone cheese, at room temperature 

Graham cracker crumbs (optional to garnish)

Whisk the eggs, cornstarch, sugar and vanilla together in a saucepan. Add milk and heat over low/medium low heat, whisking constantly for about 10 minutes or until it starts to thicken. Pour into a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour. Take the mascarpone out of the fridge for the last 30 minutes. Then beat the mascarpone until smooth, remove the custard from the fridge and incorporate it into the cheese. Pour into serving bowls or one big bowl to serve from later. Cover and set for 4 hours.
