This recipe has to be the easiest one I've made when trying to make a vanilla custard/pudding filling!! No problems with adding hot to cold or blending like the traditional recipes. I saved this recipe with the thought of using peaches but mine were not quite ripe. I substituted fresh blueberries and raspberries, placing them in first atop the crust, then adding the filling. Topped with sliced strawberries. My family is lactose intolerant so I used the Lactose free milk~worked perfectly!!!! Thank you so much for an awesome recipe, this a keeper for certain!!!
