Frequently Asked Questions
Can I substitute the condensed milk with another ingredient?
Yes, you can substitute condensed milk with an equal amount of evaporated milk combined with sugar (approx. 1/3 cup of sugar added to 1 and 1/2 cups of evaporated milk) for a lighter version. However, this will change the sweetness and creaminess of the pudding.
How should I store the milk pudding after making it?
Once the milk pudding is completely cooled, cover it with plastic wrap or transfer it to an airtight container, and store it in the refrigerator. It can last up to 3-5 days.
What if my milk pudding is still soft after the cooking time recommended?
If the pudding is still soft after the cooking time, continue microwaving it in 1-minute intervals, checking for doneness with a toothpick each time. It may need more time depending on the power of your microwave.
