- Add the seeds and the emptied vanilla bean pod in the milk
- Bring the milk to a boil.

- Pour the warm milk on top of the eggs, mix well but don’t whisk too hard (you don’t want to make a foam).

- Put in oven 180ºC (350ºF) for 50 mins.
- Turn off the oven and leave them inside to cool. Reserve in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
Chocolate Pudding
- For the chocolate version at step 5, pour the warm egg/milk mixture over the chocolate and whisk. Then follow the remaining steps.
