I love making Homemade Puddings cooked in a water bath. I find pudding a quick and tasty treat, a real after-dinner cuddle. Since I wanted to create something different, of the 8 servings, I covered only 4 with peach jelly to suit everyone’s taste. To be honest, in the end, the classic version was the one that met the majority’s preferences. And which one do you prefer?

Ingredients
- 1 2/3 cups partially skimmed milk
- 7/8 cup fresh liquid cream
- 2 Eggs
- 1 Yolk
- 1/2 cup Sugar
- 1 packet Vanillin (0.4 gr)
- 7 oz Peaches (drained syrup)
- 1 tsp Sheet gelatin
Preparation
Take a small pot, preferably with a non-stick bottom, add the milk and cream, and cook over low heat until it reaches a temperature of 122°F. You can use a thermometer to measure the temperature; in any case, it should be warm, not boiling.
Meanwhile, put the eggs, yolk, and vanillin in a bowl, whisk with a whisk, and add the warm milk gradually, continuing to whisk. For a smooth consistency, pass the mixture through a sieve.
At this point, fill the containers 2/3 full; I used glass bowls with a diameter of 3 inches and a height of 1.2 inches.
Take a large pot, place a sheet of parchment paper on the bottom; this will prevent the containers from hitting each other.
Place the puddings inside, fill with water until it reaches 2/3 of the container, and turn on the heat to low.
When the water temperature reaches 194°F, cover with a lid wrapped in a towel to prevent condensation droplets from falling onto the puddings and cook for 7/8 minutes.
At this point, turn off the heat and let the puddings rest for another 7/8 minutes.
Take the containers out of the pot and check that the pudding has a film on the surface, it should wiggle when shaken but not spill out.
Your puddings are ready; now let them cool before putting them in the fridge.
Remove the peaches from their syrup and drain them well by placing them in a sieve. Put them in a mixer and blend until you get a puree. In a bowl with cold water, soak the gelatin sheets. After a few minutes, take them, put them in a container with a little peach puree, and melt in the microwave for a few seconds. Add it at this point to the remaining puree. Take the chilled puddings from the fridge and cover 4 of them with this jelly.
Put in the fridge to set for at least 2 hours.
Tips/Suggestions
With these doses, the pudding will have a very soft consistency; if you prefer it firmer, add only 100 ml of cream. For decoration, I used small colored meringues and wafer leaves.
