Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider stirring in some shredded cheese or diced jalapeños before baking. If you prefer a sweeter pudding, increase the sugar or add a hint of vanilla extract. You can also substitute regular milk for evaporated skim milk if needed, but this may alter the creaminess of the dish. Be sure to mix well to avoid lumps from the cornstarch.
