Recipe Tips
Frequently Asked Questions
What can I substitute for chopped almonds if I have a nut allergy?
You can use sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds as an alternative to chopped almonds. These will give a similar texture, but be sure to adjust any added sugars if they're sweetened.
How should I store leftover almond pudding?
Store the leftover almond pudding in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It should stay fresh for up to 3 days. You can also freeze it for longer storage, but the texture may change slightly upon thawing.
My pudding didn't set properly, what could have gone wrong?
If your pudding didn't set, it could be due to not cooking it long enough after adding the almond and yolks or the baking time may have been insufficient. Ensure that it reaches the right consistency before removing it from the heat, and check if the water bath was maintained consistently while baking.
