How can you tell if pudding is perfectly set?

How does everyone check if their pudding is set just right? I'm trying to nail the perfect texture. Any tips?

One of the main tricks to check if the pudding is perfectly set is the jiggle test. Gently shake the pudding, and if it wobbles slightly while holding its shape, it's likely set.

I like to press lightly on the surface with the back of a spoon—if it springs back a bit without leaving a dent, that's a good sign!

Great question! You’ll know it’s set when the edges are firm and the center has a slight jiggle but doesn’t ripple too much. A quick chill in the fridge does wonders!
