Ingredients for Eros Pudding
To create the perfect Eros Pudding, gather the following ingredients:

Preparation Steps
- Start by toasting the almonds in a small pan over medium heat until golden brown. Stir occasionally to ensure they do not burn. Once done, set them aside to cool.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, heavy cream, and sugar. Whisk these together over medium heat until the sugar dissolves completely.

- Pour the pudding into serving bowls or glasses and let them cool to room temperature before refrigerating for at least 2 hours.
