2. Cook until thickened, while stirring at intervals of 8-10 minutes
3. Once thickened remove the pot from the heat
4. Place the pudding in a serving dish/glass   
5. Cover with cling plastic wrap (placing the plastic wrap on the surface of the custard)
6. Refrigerate for 30 minutes or until cool
7. Serve with vanilla ice cream, cream, and fruit (peaches/strawberries) 
8. Garnish with maple syrup, toffee sauce, ground cinnamon, fruit and or with crushed almonds… Enjoy!!!
