| Milk | 4 cups |
| Heavy cream | 1 cup |
| Sweetened condensed milk | 1 can, 14 oz |
| Cornstarch | ½ cup |
| Sugar | ¼ cup, optional |

Instructions
Step 1: Mix the Base
In a large saucepan, add the milk, heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, sugar, and cornstarch.
Whisk very well before turning on the heat.
Make sure the cornstarch is fully dissolved so the cream becomes smooth.
Step 2: Cook Until Thick
Place the saucepan over medium heat.
Cook while whisking constantly.
After a few minutes, the mixture will begin to thicken.
Keep stirring until it becomes smooth, creamy, and pudding-like.
Step 3: Add White Chocolate
Turn the heat to low.
Add the chopped white chocolate.
Stir until the chocolate melts completely into the cream.
The mixture should become glossy, thick, and silky.
Step 4: Add Vanilla and Butter
Turn off the heat.
Add vanilla extract and butter.
Stir until fully combined.
The butter gives the dessert a richer texture and smoother finish.
Step 5: Pour into the Dish
Pour the hot cream mixture into a glass baking dish.
Smooth the top with a spatula.
Tap the dish gently on the counter to remove air bubbles.
Step 6: Chill
Let the dessert cool at room temperature for 20–30 minutes.
Then cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
For the best texture, chill overnight.
Step 7: Add the Topping
Before serving, grate white chocolate over the top.
Cover the whole surface with a soft white chocolate layer.
You can also add coconut, crushed cookies, or whipped cream if desired.
Pro Tips
Whisk the cornstarch with cold milk before heating.
Do not stop stirring while cooking.
Use good-quality white chocolate for better flavor.
Chill the dessert well before serving.
Grate the white chocolate only after the dessert is fully cold.
For a lighter texture, fold in whipped cream after the pudding cools slightly.
Delicious Variations
