Tips & Substitutions
For best results, ensure your egg whites are free of yolk and the bowl is clean to achieve stiff peaks in the meringue. If you're out of flour, cornstarch can be used as a substitute for a lighter texture. Adjust the sugar to taste if you prefer a less sweet pudding, or use a sugar alternative for a healthier option.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this pudding ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the pudding base a day in advance. Just fold in the meringue just before serving to maintain its light and airy texture. This helps save time during gatherings or dinner parties, allowing you to focus on other dishes.
What can I use if I don't have milk?
If you're out of milk, you can substitute with almond milk or oat milk for a dairy-free version. This will give a slightly different flavor but will still work well in the pudding. Just ensure to choose unsweetened varieties to control the sweetness.
How do I know when the meringue is done baking?
The meringue is perfectly baked when it turns golden brown and has a crisp texture on the outside. Keep an eye on it as it bakes, as oven temperatures can vary. If it begins to brown too quickly, lower the temperature slightly to prevent burning.
