Ingredients:

Pudding – 

• ½ cup sugar
• 1½ tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 cup whole milk
• 3 egg yolks
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, plus extra for garnish
• 2 cups mascarpone cheese

Topping – 

• 1 cup heavy cream
• 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 cup fresh berries (like blackberries, raspberries, and strawberries)

Directions:

Place 6 to 8 small bowls onto a baking sheet. In a small mixing bowl, whisk sugar with the cornstarch to combine.

In a medium pot, combine milk with the sugar mixture and whisk to combine. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.

While the milk is heating up, whisk the egg yolks in a medium bowl. When the milk has reached a simmer, slowly pour it over the eggs, whisking constantly. Continue whisking for a few moments after all the milk has been added, then return the mixture to the pot.

Cook the pudding over medium-low heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture begins to bubble from the very center of the pot. This will be at least 1 to 2 minutes more.

Remove the pot from the heat and add in the vanilla, cinnamon and mascarpone cheese. Mix until completely smooth.

Pour the pudding into the prepared vessels. Cover the tray with plastic wrap and refrigerate until cool (at least 30 minutes).

When ready to serve, whip the heavy cream with the sugar to medium peaks. Place 1 tablespoon whipped cream on top of each pudding and garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon and some fresh berries.
