Fantastic Vanilla Pudding

I had 12 cups of milk to use up, so I made a huge batch. It wasn't quite sweet enough for me, so I added a cup of brown sugar after I removed it from the heat. The second time I made a normal batch, added 1/3 cup sugar, and stirred canned raspberries into it. So delicious!

I tried using Almond Breeze "Unsweetened" and kept the other ingred the same, and the taste was awful! But the consistency was still good! Maybe next time I will try soy or coconut milk. Excited to try it again.

This turned out quite well, thanks! I made a half recipe, which worked just fine. This does have a nice light maple flavor, which is very nice. I thought the vanilla and maple flavors actually balance really well. This is very refreshing since its low in fat and not too creamy-creamy. I found the texture to be just fine- I was just sure not to overcook the pudding on the stovetop. I served this cold, so I made sure that the pudding when I took it off the stove was about the same texture as pudding from a box (I've never made pudding before!) is before it is refrigerated. Turned out just right! I found the amount of cornstarch to be fine- I didn't think this tasted gluey at all...and I didn't have to add more either, although I know that Missy is in Australia, so maybe the potency of cornstarch is different there or something? I think this is nice because you can cook it more or less in accordance to how thick or think you want your pudding. Next time I'm going to add some spices or maybe some orange blossom water? This makes a good light and refreshing snack or dessert that's pretty good for you! I think this would also work well with soymilk, and it would be vegan then! Thanks for the recipe.

The syrup in this pudding really did make it. The only change I made was to use a vanilla bean instead of extract. I put the seeds and the bean in with the milk and strained it after the boil. Turned out great!! I poured it over some sliced bananas and served it in wine glasses, look great! Thanks Tebo for sharing another keeper!!
