Homemade Vanilla Pudding

Category: Fillings > Puddings > Vanilla

Who knew that homemade pudding was so easy to make. I never did but if I knew how easy it was, I wouldn't have been purchasing store pudding mixes. Homemade pudding is as easy as any cook and serve pudding. Instance pudding is still faster but has a different taste.



Recipe:

  • 2 cups Milk
  • 1/2 cup Sugar
  • 3 tbsp. Cornstarch
  • 1/4 tsp. Salt
  • 1 tsp. Vanilla
  • 1 tbsp. Butter or Margarine


In medium saucepan stir and combine milk, sugar, cornstarch and salt. Cook and stir over medium heat until mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a metal spoon. Do not boil. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla and butter. Pour into serving dishes. Cover and chill before serving.

Baking Tips:

  • When covering, press the plastic wrap right on top of the pudding. That will help prevent a film of skin from forming.

Lemon Parfaits

Category: Parfaits > Puddings

A parfait is a layered dessert placed in a clear tall glass. The layers can consist of items like cream, ice cream, gelatin, puddings, fruits, nuts, granola or yogurts. After making the lemon meringue pie, I had left over lemon pudding so I made some parfaits. These parfaits are layers of lemon pudding, cool whip, and topped with a cherry. Parfaits make easy and quick to make treats that are very eye appealing.
