In a bowl, mix egg yolk, sugar, fresh cream, custard powder, salt, and milk.
Prepare Meringue
In another bowl, beat egg white, powdered sugar, and vanilla essence until stiff peaks form.
Cook Custard and Meringue
Pour the custard mixture into a wide pan and boil until it reaches a slightly thick, pouring consistency.
Using a spoon, gently place scoops of meringue onto the custard.
Poach one side of the meringue, then gently flip and poach the other side for 2 minutes.

Transfer the pudding to a serving bowl and garnish with crushed nuts.
Allow it to cool, then refrigerate for 2 hours before serving.
