FAQs
- Can I use regular milk instead of condensed milk?
- How long can I store the pudding?
- Can I use different toppings?
Using condensed milk is what makes the pudding extra creamy and sweet. I highly recommend using it for the best results.
Stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator, the pudding can last up to 3 days.
Of course! You can try using chocolate chips, caramel sauce, or even chopped nuts for a different twist.
