Vanilla Pudding With Splenda

"This is a good basic recipe. I have found that when I've tried Splenda for Baking there is a bitter aftertaste. So, I thought, hmmm, why don't I stir it in at the end? Voila!"

  1. After reading the reviews, I also only used 1/4 C Splenda. I also added 1 scraped vanilla bean along with 1T homemade vanilla extract. Mine turned out a bit lumpy, possibly cooked a bit too long. It's going into another recipe so it should be ok.
     
  2. Good flavor and texture. I made the recipe using the optional potatoes starch. Start to finish this took about 10 minutes. The one thing I changed was I put in half the splenda, then tasted it before adding more. I was glad i did--it was very sweet! I left it with just half the splenda amount. I would suggest doing the same and tasting it with just half the slenda amount before putting the rest in.
     
  3. Nice flavor and so easy to make from scratch, the commercial pudding mixes contain way too much sodium. Think it would be fun to vary this by using rum or almond flavoring but just great as is.
