Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using whole milk instead of regular milk. If you're short on time, you can use pre-made caramel sauce instead of making it from scratch. When blending, ensure all ingredients are well combined for a smooth texture. If you prefer a lighter pudding, you can substitute some eggs with egg whites.
Serving Suggestions
Serve chilled, garnished with fresh fruit or a dollop of whipped cream for added texture. This pudding pairs beautifully with Perfect Crepes for a delightful brunch. For an elegant touch, drizzle with chocolate or caramel sauce before serving.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place individual portions in the microwave for 20-30 seconds or until warmed through. Avoid reheating the entire pudding to prevent it from becoming rubbery.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use low-fat milk instead of regular milk?
Yes, you can use low-fat milk, but keep in mind that it may affect the creaminess of the pudding. Whole milk provides a richer texture, so if you opt for low-fat, consider adding a bit of cream to maintain the consistency.
What should I do if the pudding doesn't set?
If the pudding doesn't set after baking, it may need a bit longer in the oven. Check for doneness by inserting a knife in the center; it should come out clean. If it’s still jiggly, return it to the oven for an additional 10 minutes.
Can I add flavors like chocolate or vanilla?
Absolutely! You can add a teaspoon of vanilla extract or melted chocolate to the milk mixture for added flavor. Just blend it in with the other ingredients to ensure even distribution throughout the pudding.
