Instructions

1. Prepare the Dry Ingredients: Begin by placing the sugar into a medium-sized bowl. Set a fine mesh sieve on top of the bowl and sift in the cornstarch. Add a pinch of ground cinnamon. Sifting all these dry ingredients together ensures that no lumps remain, making the pudding smooth and velvety later.

2. Combine the Wet and Dry Ingredients: In a saucepan, pour in the lactose-free milk. While the milk is still cold, slowly add the sifted dry ingredients into the milk. Do this in batches, stirring constantly to ensure the mixture remains smooth and clump-free. Stir the mixture thoroughly to dissolve any powder that might stick to the sides of the pan.

3. Cook the Pudding: Once all the ingredients are well combined, place the saucepan over medium heat. Keep stirring continuously to avoid any lumps from forming. The pudding will begin to thicken after 3 to 4 minutes of cooking. Once it reaches a thick, creamy consistency, remove the saucepan from the heat.

4. Prepare the Molds: Lightly moisten the inside of your pudding molds with water. This will help in removing the pudding from the molds easily once set. Gently tap the molds to get rid of any excess water.

5. Fill the Molds: Pour the hot pudding mixture into the prepared molds, filling them completely. The pudding should still be hot when poured into the molds so that it sets perfectly.

6. Chill and Serve: Let the pudding cool at room temperature for a few minutes, then place it in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours to fully set. Once set, carefully invert the molds onto dessert plates to release the pudding. Serve chilled for a delightful and creamy treat.
