Homemade Vanilla Sweet Cream Pudding

GLASS HALF FULL OF VANILLA SWEET CREAM PUDDINGThis Homemade Vanilla Sweet Cream Pudding is fantastic! Such an easy recipe that yields such smooth, creamy and silky pudding made entirely from scratch! No one will know coffee creamer is the secret ingredient!

Up until this post, I had never made homemade pudding before. In fact, I don’t even think I’ve tasted homemade pudding, either!

That had to change – and I am so glad it did because homemade pudding is where it’s at!

I have a really good feeling that I will be making this pudding all summer long, because who doesn’t want a fresh-from-the-fridge, ice cold pudding on a hot day? And in Sacramento, it gets hot and early, too! While now it’s all spring showers and breezy days, that will soon change come May and I’ll be reaching for pudding relief all day long 🙂

But in the meantime, this Homemade Vanilla Sweet Cream Pudding will make a fantastic last-minute Easter dessert, or would make a lovely addition to a springtime tea party!

Normally, homemade pudding is made with whole milk or cream, but for this recipe I used International Delight’s Sweet Cream Coffee Creamer which is my hands-down FAVORITE. You can always use another flavor from their line-up of creamers, like French Vanilla, Butter Pecan (OMG), or even Irish Creme! It’s truly limited to your imagination, but I went with Sweet Cream because of its almost melty ice cream flavor and decadence.

Temper some egg yolks with the hot sugar mixture and add in the yolks, a splash of vanilla extract, and some butter for good measure. The yolks and butter add such a wonderful texture and flavor to this pudding that I truly feel they’re almost mandatory to add!

CLOSE UP VIEW OF VANILLA SWEET CREAM PUDDING WITH A SPOONNow you could serve this warm… but as I mentioned above, I have a thing with chilled pudding, so I chilled mine. Topping it with fresh whipped cream and berries, though – that may also need to be mandatory! OR, layer the fresh pudding with pound cake or angel food cake cubes and sliced fruit for trifles! So simple and perfect for springtime.

Homemade Vanilla Sweet Cream Pudding

This Homemade Vanilla Sweet Cream Pudding is a real standout recipe! Smooth, silky, buttery vanilla pudding made with a secret ingredient: coffee creamer!
Prep Time2 hrs 10 mins
Cook Time7 mins
Total Time2 hrs 17 mins
Course: Dessert, No-Bake Treats
Cuisine: American, Dessert
Author: Hayley Parker, The Domestic Rebel

Ingredients

  • 2½ cups International Delight Sweet Cream Coffee Creamer or you may try this recipe with their French Vanilla Creamer!
  • Pinch salt
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 Tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 Tbsp butter cubed
  • Fresh whipped cream and berries for serving optional

Instructions

  • In a medium saucepan, whisk together the coffee creamer, salt, granulated sugar, and cornstarch until combined and fully incorporated. Turn the heat to medium-high and cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture has thickened, about 5-7 minutes. Make sure the mixture doesn't scorch! Remove from the heat.
  • Whisk the egg yolks until lightly beaten. Temper the eggs by adding a Tablespoon or two of the hot sugar mixture to the eggs, whisking constantly. Temper again with another Tablespoon if needed. Pour the tempered egg yolks into the sugar mixture along with the vanilla extract and butter, stirring until melted and combined.
  • Spoon the pudding mixture into individual bowls or cups, or pour into a large bowl. Cover the pudding with plastic wrap by gently pressing the plastic wrap onto the surface of the pudding - this helps prevent a film from forming on the pudding. Refrigerate until chilled, about 1-2 hours.
  • Just before serving, garnish with fresh whipped cream and berries, if desired.

A SPOONFUL OF PUDDING NEXT TO A BOWLThis pudding is so thick, creamy and silky-smooth with a wonderful, almost ice-cream-like flavor from the Sweet Cream Coffee Creamer! It’s truly unlike any other pudding I’ve tried!

    LOVE it ! What I love in particular about these sweet cream recipes is that I use so little creamer in coffee that I rarely buy it for fear of it going bad. But with a recipe like this I have multiple uses!

    I Love this recipe!!! I use International Delight coffee ☕ creamer and the Caramel Macchiato was “eh” in my ☕… So I decided to look up what I could make with this. Excellent. The only thing I would do differently is to use 1/4th less sugar b/c the creamer itself is already sweet… A little too sweet for my liking… But this is my own personal opinion. Try this… It’s wonderful!!!
