Frequently Asked Questions
Can I substitute condensed milk with another ingredient?
Yes, you can use evaporated milk combined with additional sugar as a substitute for condensed milk. Use 1 cup of evaporated milk and add 1/2 cup of granulated sugar to achieve a similar sweetness and texture.
How should I store leftovers of sweet milk pudding?
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will keep well for about 3-4 days. If you want to reheat it, do so gently in the microwave or in a water bath to prevent it from overcooking or drying out.
What should I do if my pudding doesn't set properly after baking?
If your pudding doesn't set, it may need more time in the oven. Check if it's undercooked by doing a toothpick test. If the toothpick comes out too wet, bake for an additional 5-10 minutes. Ensure that you're baking it in a proper water bath, which helps maintain even cooking.
