Ideas And Tips:
• If you’re serving the pudding cold, place a plastic wrap directly on the surface of the pudding. Let the pudding chill in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours. Putting a plastic wrap directly on the surface of the pudding prevents milk evaporation while cooling. This keeps the surface moist, which prevents a chewy skin from forming on top of the pudding.
