This pudding was a bit too dense for my taste. I think I would have preferred it if it had been a bit lighter and fluffier.

I made this pudding for my family and they loved it! It was a bit sweeter than I expected, but it was still very good.

I've made this pudding several times and it always turns out great. It's a bit time-consuming to make, but it's worth it. The flavor is rich and complex, and the texture is perfect.

This pudding was absolutely delicious! I made it for a Christmas party and it was a huge hit. The flavors were perfect and the texture was moist and fluffy. I will definitely be making this again.
