Ingredients

• 200 grams Elbow macaroni
• 500 ml Whole milk
• 120 ml Heavy cream
• 100 grams Granulated sugar
• 20 grams Unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 3 large Eggs
• 50 grams Raisins (optional)
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a medium-sized baking dish with butter and set aside.

Step 2

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add a pinch of salt and cook the elbow macaroni until al dente, about 6-7 minutes. Drain the macaroni and set it aside to cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt until well combined.

Step 4

Add the cooked macaroni and raisins (if using) to the egg mixture. Stir gently to combine, ensuring the macaroni is evenly coated.

Step 5

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Dot the surface with small pieces of the unsalted butter.

Step 6

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the pudding is set and the top is golden brown.

Step 7

Allow the macaroni pudding to cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. It can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature.
