💬 Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this pudding without eggs? Yes, you can substitute the eggs with additional cornstarch or a commercial egg replacer, but the texture will be slightly different.
Why is my caramel grainy? Grainy caramel is usually caused by sugar crystals forming. To avoid this, make sure your pan is clean and you are using a wet pastry brush to wash down any sugar crystals from the sides of the pan. Also, do not stir the sugar once it starts to boil.
Can I use a different type of milk? Yes, you can use 2% milk or even oat milk, but full-fat milk will give you the creamiest, richest result[reference:62].
How do I know when the pudding is baked through? The pudding is ready when the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly[reference:63]. It will continue to set as it cools.
