Recipe Notes
Expert Tips
- For extra richness, use full-fat milk or a combination of milk and cream.
- Toasting the nuts before grinding brings out their natural oils and enhances their flavour.
- If you prefer a sweeter pudding, increase the sugar to your liking. You can also add a touch of honey or maple syrup for a unique flavour profile.
- Adjust the consistency of the pudding by adding more milk for a thinner pudding or simmering longer for a thicker pudding.
