"Whole milk and butter give this delicious pudding its rich creamy flavor," explains Gayle Becker of Mt. Clemens, Michigan. "For a fat-free version, leave out the butter and substitute water for the 2 cups milk in the pudding. Since the mix already includes nonfat dry milk, it will still be creamy and calcium-rich."

Tips:

  • Use whole milk: Whole milk will give your pudding a richer, creamier flavor. If you only have skim or low-fat milk, you can add a little bit of butter or cornstarch to help thicken the pudding.
  • Don't overcook the pudding: Pudding will continue to thicken as it cools, so don't overcook it on the stovetop. Remove it from the heat as soon as it reaches a boil and then let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
  • Use a whisk: A whisk will help you to avoid lumps in your pudding. Make sure to whisk constantly while you are cooking the pudding.
  • Add flavorings: You can add a variety of flavorings to your pudding, such as vanilla extract, chocolate chips, or fruit. Be creative and experiment with different flavors to find your favorites.
  • Serve pudding warm or cold: Pudding can be served warm or cold. If you are serving it warm, make sure to let it cool for a few minutes before serving so that it doesn't burn your mouth. If you are serving it cold, you can chill it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
