- Pour your pudding mixture into a glass container, and then set it in the fridge for an hour or longer so that it can gellify.

Notes
Fridge Time: leaving prepared food to sit in the fridge for a whole hour may make some of you nervous. So if you need to cut down on the fridge time, you can use ½ Tablespoon extra flax meal and refrigerate it for just half an hour, then eat what you want and freeze the rest.
Can I Freeze This?: yes! I've managed to leave flax puddings in the coldest parts of my fridge, and they end up like a melty snow ice cream, with a softer freeze the higher fat the milk. So like with my chia & flax pudding, now I like to make a regular batch and eat all I want, then freeze the rest in individual servings and top it right before eating.
Customizing Flavors: while the base flaxseed pudding tastes a lot like melted vanilla ice cream with bit of coconut for texture, if you have this regularly, there are several delicious ways to change up the flavor. If you're not eating low histamine, you could even add a tablespoon of cocoa powder to make it chocolatey.
But if you are on a low histamine diet, here are some flavor ideas: candied pecans, hemp seeds, toasted pumpkin seeds, macadamia nut butter, frozen fruits, fresh blueberries, pomegranate seeds, homemade jam, stewed pears or apples, shredded coconut, homemade granola, or even protein powder.
