These were very good fresh from the oven. The leftovers were O.K. warmed up the next day, but better the first day made. I made it with soy milk and I don't think that changed the pudding mixture (pudding won't set with soy milk).

These have become very popular in my family. We have them whenever we have overnight company and for special occasions. I frequently get asked for the recipe.
