   *If pudding will not be served right away, cover each cup with plastic, pressing plastic right down onto the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming.

   While pudding cools, whip heavy whipping cream in a cold bowl with a whisk until stiff peaks form. Spoon into a pastry bag with a star tip for a decorative top. Serve whipped cream over pudding. Sprinkle with colorful sprinkles if desired.
