Ingredients
- 5 cups caramel corn (about 7 ounces)
- 3 cups whole milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 4 large egg yolks
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup salted roasted peanuts
Instructions
- Pulse 3 cups of the caramel corn in a food processor until finely ground. Transfer to a medium saucepan; add the milk, heavy cream, sugar and salt and stir to dissolve. Bring to a boil, then remove from the heat and let steep 30 minutes.
- Whisk the egg yolks and cornstarch in a medium bowl until smooth; slowly pour in the milk-caramel corn mixture, whisking to combine. Pour the mixture back into the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the mixture coats the spoon, about 8 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl to remove the ground caramel corn. Whisk in the butter and vanilla until smooth.
- Pour the mixture into 8 small bowls. Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of each pudding to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate until set, at least 4 hours. Top with the remaining caramel corn and the peanuts.
