100% would make again

This delightful dessert is a snap to fix using common pantry ingredients. It's also an easy late-night snack. I usually top it with M&M's.—Carrina Cooper, McAlpin, Florida

I must have made this 4 times a week when I was pregnant last winter - very good my 14 year old daughter even likes to make it. Very good! We never had leftovers!

This is a great recipe! Especially if you don't want all the preservatives that a boxed pudding would give you. I have made this recipe 3 times and will continue to use it! Thanks!!!
