It tasted great, but I hade to microwave it a couple of more 45 secs. Maybe the problem is my microwave.
I used it for eclairs.
Thanks for sharing.

I have never made pudding that didn't come out of a box. I followed the recipe exactly as written and this was very easy to make. We all enjoyed this. Made for Spring PAC 2010.

I have never made a pudding cooked totally in the microwave before. This was super easy and super tasty, I wouldn't change a thing. Thanks for sharing the recipe Ryley. Made for PAC Spring 2010.
