Malted White Russian Pudding

A truly Dude-ly dessert. A base of Ovaltine pudding, a vodka whip cream topping, with coffee syrup and powdered sugar to top it all off.

Ingredients
For the pudding:
2 cups whole milk
1/2 cups Classic Malt Ovaltine
3 Tablespoons corn starch
A pinch of kosher salt
1 Tablespoon unsalted butter

For the whip cream:
1/2 pint heavy whipping cream
1 Tablespoon powdered sugar
1 Tablespoon vodka

For the coffee syrup:
1/2 cup freshly brewed black coffee
1/2 cup granulated sugar

Step 1: Coffee Syrup Ingredients

The coffee syrup should be the first part of this dessert you make. You'll want it to cool down to fridge temperature before using it. You can use coffee you got from a coffeehouse if you want, but make sure it's black (no sugar, milk, half n half, etc.)

I will be honest, something about ovaltine brings up childhood nightmares, but that being said it really looks good and I really want to try it! Maybe I've outgrown my fear of Ovaltine by now.

Any substitutes for Ovaltine? My google-fu skills came up less than definative answers on the subject.

It's easy to make whipped cream by hand with a wisk and stainless bowl. Or use your mixer. I'm just saying it's pretty easy to do by hand. You know. In case of emergancy. Or if you can't be bothered to get out a rarely used appliance.

You can use granulated sugar and it doesn't matter if you add it first or later. You can also use honey, corn syrup, pancake syrup, raw or brown sugar, artificial sweeteners, or even sugar-beet syrup.

The bowl can't be plastic or have any oil or soap in it.

And run cold water in the bowl before you start. Dump the water and add cream. Or, if you like to plan ahead, stick it in the refrigerator for a while. Honestly, if the cream is stored in the refrigerator (or course it is) it probably won't be a problem.

Also, it's terribly important to have the sugar IN THE CREAM. I've done it both ways, and you just don't get the same effect from putting sugar/syrup/honey on the already-whipped cream.
