Chill pudding, its surface covered wax paper, until very cold, about 4 hours.
Just before serving, gently whisk pudding, then divide among 6 glasses or bowls.

Real hit! I did boldly double the licorice in the recipe, to make it more licoricey, and when melting it, I left just tiny specks of licorice there in the end (and obviously did not sieve it), we thought they were quite nice there, for the eye appeal and mouth appeal, both.
