Colombian Style Pudding or as we call it Natilla Colombiana is a pudding usually served together with Colombian Bunuelos (Cheese Balls) during Christmas. This pudding tends to be firmer and more sliceable, although it can also be served as a creamier pudding, either way it is awesome and we believe everyone must try it.
