Notes

  1. If you do not want skin on your pudding then place some cling film or plastic wrap directly on the pudding.
  2. You can prepare this pudding ahead and leave it to chill overnight for the best results. The pudding will thicken as it chills. 
  3. Make sure your pudding has visibly thickened while it is on the stove before taking it off to chill.
