To make Vanilla Bean Pudding, you will need the following ingredients per serving:

- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg yolk
- 1/2 vanilla bean, split and scraped

To start, combine the milk, sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a medium saucepan. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and there are no lumps. Add the egg yolk and whisk until well combined.
Next, add the vanilla bean to the mixture and bring it to a simmer over medium heat. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until the pudding thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
Remove the pudding from the heat and discard the vanilla bean. Pour the pudding into a serving dish and cover with plastic wrap, making sure the wrap touches the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until set.
When ready to serve, remove the plastic wrap and garnish with whipped cream and fresh berries, if desired.
