Notes

For an enhanced flavor, consider infusing the milk with a vanilla bean. To create a dairy-free version, replace whole milk with almond or oat milk. If you're looking to store the pudding, keep it in an airtight container for up to 5 days or freeze it for up to 2 months. Experiment with flavors by adding spices like cinnamon or nutmeg for a unique twist.
