One day when I had a craving for something homemade, I tried from-scratch pudding. It’s much better than the store-bought kind! —EMR, Taste of Home Online community

Good, easy, I used 2 % . I will do it again with whole milk. My husband suggested a drizzle of Carmel ice cream topping. Janet.VFE

Flavor was good a little too sweet. Pudding didn't thicken.
