Easy Vanilla Pudding

I've made this several times now and it is so good & easy to make. My toddler loves it. I make frozen pudding pops with half of this recipe. Thanks for a great recipe!

I tried this one as I realised another recipe I had required vanilla pudding, but I didn't have the package kind. I used unsweetened, vanilla Almond Breeze instead of milk and still had to add quite a bit more vanilla to get a vanilla flavour and hide flavour of the cornstarch. With the Almond Breeze the colour was a little weird (grey) and it didn't turn out quite as thick as I had hoped but it did work well in the recipe I needed it for. My kids tried it on it's own and said no thanks though. We don't have pudding very often (read 2 or 3 x a year) so it's not a comparison to packaged product thing, even my 10yo that is vanilla crazy wasn't crazy about this. I will use it again if needed in recipes though.

I made this and it came out wonderful. I used splenda and waited to add it untill I removed it from the stove. I had to add a tad bit more cornstarch to make up for not using sugar, but it was still very good.

I am not very good at making pudding. This was my 2nd attempt at a recipe like this and the results were much better than last time. Vanilla-ey and yummy! Thanks for a good recipe:)
