• Let rest 15–20 minutes; it will continue to thicken.
• Serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled.
• Dust with cinnamon or nutmeg before serving.

 Tips for Perfect Pudding

• Stir gently but consistently to prevent sticking.
• Always use whole milk; low-fat milk produces a thinner pudding.
• If a skin forms, whisk it back in or skim off.
• Make ahead: keeps 4–5 days in the fridge; add a splash of milk when reheating.
• For extra richness: replace 1 cup of milk with heavy cream or coconut milk.
