Instructions
- In a large saucepan, combine 1 2/3 cups water, evaporated milk, margarine, sugar, vanilla, and eggs.
- Mix together the cornstarch and the 1/3 cup water; add to the mixture in the pan.
- Heat over medium-low (about#3-4 on an electric stove), stirring constantly, until it begins to thicken and has developed a pudding texture (it will coat the back of a wooden spoon)- this takes about 15-20 minutes.
- Chill in a covered bowl in the fridge until cool- pudding should thicken a bit when cool.
- Line a 9x13" glass casserole dish with thin slices of pound cake, fitting the slices in so the entire pan base is covered.
- Spread the pudding over the pound cake.
- Dust entire surface with ground cinnamon.
- Chill, covered, at least 1 hour and until ready to serve.
- Notes: This pudding doesn't harden up as much as other puddings- it thickens, but retains a soft, slightly pourable consistency like a trifle custard or like zabaglione.
- This dessert will not have a"tall" appearance- make sure your cake slices are cut only about 1/4-1/2" thick.
