  1. Love the maple syrup in this. Thanks for sharing!
     
  2. 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.
     
  3. I'm trying to decrease my processed sugar intake but still like a scrumptious dessert once in a while. This was really nice with a few mini chocolate chips scattered on top.

Tweaks

  1. We love this pudding for its ease and tasty finish to any meal. Admittedly I got creative and found that if you substitute half the milk with coconut milk (exclude the other flavorings & salt), add about 1 tbls of sugar, and some vanilla flavoring you have an asian inspired silky rich dessert! I puree mangos and spoon it over the pudding (which sets strongly enough to turn upside down on plates.. it slides right out of the cups! and sits there like a fancy restaurant dessert). I suspect you could get REAL creative with this one.
     
  2. I'm not rating the recipe, since I made quite a few changes I would just like to share: I used honey instead of maple syrup, rose water instead of vanilla and added some crushed cardamom (sorry, I didn't measure... just added to taste in step 1, maybe 1/2 tsp seeds then crushed in mortar) and sprinkled some more on the pudding): yummm... I cooked it in the microwave and it worked well. This recipe is very similar to a Chocolate Pudding one I've had in my box for a while but have not tried yet, the only difference being the 3 tbsp cocoa added in step 1. Another thing: Missy writes she had to add more corn FLOUR, but the recipe says corn STARCH, and (at least here in Canada), these are quite different, so I think this might have been the problem.
     
  3. 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!!
