Frequently Asked Questions
Can I substitute any ingredients in this pudding recipe?
Yes, you can substitute the milk with a non-dairy alternative like almond or coconut milk. For a lighter version, consider using egg whites instead of whole eggs. Just keep in mind that these substitutions may slightly alter the texture and flavor of the final pudding.
How should I store the lemon and milk pudding after making it?
After refrigerating the pudding for at least 12 hours, cover it with plastic wrap or transfer it to an airtight container. The pudding can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Avoid leaving it out at room temperature to ensure its freshness.
What should I do if my pudding doesn't set properly?
If your pudding doesn't set, it may be due to insufficient heating or baking time. Ensure that the mixture is baked in a water bath at the correct temperature and for the recommended time. If it's still too runny after cooling, you can try returning it to the oven for an additional 10-15 minutes, checking frequently, or adding a bit more cornstarch next time to help with thickening.
