Notes
We love serving this pudding topped with fresh whipped cream.
Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4-7 days.
It’s very important to gradually add the warm mixture to the eggs before adding them into the saucepan to avoid scrambling the eggs so make sure not to skip this step in the recipe.
