DATE PUDDING

The pudding can be made up to 2 days ahead. Store covered with plastic wrap pressed directly against the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate and bring to room temperature or gently rewarm with a splash of milk before serving.

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. The pudding will firm up when cold. To serve, either enjoy chilled or gently reheat in a saucepan over low heat with 2-3 tablespoons of milk, stirring constantly until warmed through and loosened to desired consistency.
