Notes
For a softer texture, add extra milk before chilling. Use slightly less liquid for a thicker pudding. Freeze individual portions for quick breakfasts and thaw overnight in the refrigerator. Assemble toppings just before serving to keep them crisp. Try cinnamon, chocolate, or caramel flavors for variety. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
