Caramel Pudding

This pudding must be made at least 2 hours ahead to allow proper chilling and setting. It can be prepared up to 3 days in advance and stored covered in the refrigerator. For best texture, bring to cool room temperature 15 minutes before serving.

Store covered with plastic wrap pressed directly against the surface to prevent skin formation, or in individual serving dishes covered tightly. Refrigerate for up to 4 days. Do not freeze, as the cornstarch-thickened texture will break down and become watery upon thawing.
