Vanilla And Blueberry Cheesecake Pudding Recipes

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, whisk the milk, heavy cream, lemon zest, salt and 1/4 cup/50 grams sugar until combined. Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally.
• While the mixture heats, whisk the remaining 1/2 cup/100 grams sugar and the cornstarch in a medium, heat-safe bowl. Add the egg yolks and whisk until the mixture forms a thick paste.
• When the milk mixture comes to a simmer, remove it from the heat. Whisking constantly, gradually add about a third of the hot milk mixture to the egg-yolk mixture in a slow, steady stream until combined. Transfer the contents of the bowl to the saucepan and whisk well to combine.
• Heat over medium-low and cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture begins to thicken, 6 to 8 minutes. (Once the mixture thickens, you may find it easier to switch to a silicone spatula for stirring.) Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil with large bubbles breaking at the surface, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Remove the saucepan from the heat, and whisk in the cream cheese and the vanilla. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a heat-safe bowl. Place plastic wrap directly on the surface of the pudding (this prevents a "skin" from forming) and refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 hour.
• Serve the pudding in bowls or on small plates. Top with crumbled cookies and fresh berries, if desired.

Steps:

• Spread half the blueberry pie filling onto bottom of crust.
• Beat cream cheese in large bowl with whisk until creamy. Gradually beat in milk. Add dry pudding mix; beat 2 min. Gently stir in half the COOL WHIP; spread over filling in crust. Cover with remaining COOL WHIP and pie filling.
• Refrigerate 3 hours or until firm.
