Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using whole milk instead of low-fat. You can substitute the sugar with coconut sugar for a lower glycemic index. If you prefer a thicker pudding, add an extra tablespoon of flour. To avoid lumps, mix the flour and sugar well before adding the eggs. This pudding can also serve as a base for Polar Bear Cookies when layered in a dessert.
Serving Suggestions
Serve warm or chilled in individual bowls, topped with whipped cream or fresh fruit for added sweetness. This pudding pairs beautifully with Chocolate Cheese Squares for a delightful dessert spread. You can also drizzle caramel sauce on top for an extra indulgent treat.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, gently warm the pudding on the stove over low heat, stirring frequently until it reaches the desired temperature. Avoid microwaving as it may alter the texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a dairy-free milk alternative?
Yes, you can substitute regular milk with almond, soy, or oat milk. Just ensure the alternative is unsweetened to maintain the correct flavor balance. Be aware that this may slightly alter the texture, but it should still yield a delicious pudding.
How do I make this pudding without eggs?
To make an egg-free version, you can use cornstarch as a thickener. Combine 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with the sugar and flour, and substitute the eggs with 1/4 cup of unsweetened applesauce or a commercial egg replacer, adjusting the liquid accordingly.
Is this pudding suitable for freezing?
While it's best enjoyed fresh, you can freeze the pudding for up to a month. However, the texture may change upon thawing. To freeze, place it in an airtight container, leaving some space for expansion. Thaw in the refrigerator and stir well before serving.
