Frequently Asked Questions

Can I substitute the honey with another sweetener in this recipe?

Yes, you can substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar for a similar sweetness. However, keep in mind that honey adds a distinct flavor that may be slightly different with other sweeteners.

How should I store leftovers of Algarve Honey Pudding?

Store any leftover pudding in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will keep for about 4 to 5 days. You can enjoy it cold or reheat it gently in the oven or microwave.

What should I do if the pudding is not set after baking for an hour?

If the pudding is not set after one hour, continue to bake it while checking every 10 minutes. The center should be firm but slightly jiggle when shaken. You can also test by inserting a toothpick; it should come out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
