Tips:

  • Use whole milk for a richer flavor. If you don't have whole milk, you can use 2% or skim milk, but the pudding will be thinner.
  • Don't overcook the pudding. Stir constantly and remove it from the heat as soon as it thickens. Otherwise, it will become grainy.
  • Let the pudding cool completely before serving. This will allow it to set properly and develop its full flavor.
  • Serve the pudding with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include whipped cream, fruit, and nuts.
  • Store the pudding in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
