To prepare, you typically whisk the dry pudding mix with a specified amount of cold milk or a suitable milk alternative in a saucepan. The mixture is then heated over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it comes to a gentle boil and thickens. Once thickened, remove it from the heat and pour it into individual serving dishes or a larger bowl. For a firmer set, it is best to chill the pudding in the refrigerator for at least a few hours before serving. It can also be used as a filling for pies or tarts.
