Homemade Vanilla Pudding Mix: Creamy Cool Fun At Home

As a kid, I was never a big fan of pudding. This probably has a lot to do with elementary school snack time and those snack pack pudding cups – because let's be real, that isn't very good pudding. As an adult, I am much more inclined to eat pudding, especially pudding that I have made myself. And while I do enjoy making custard-style puddings (you know, the kind that use egg yolks), there is something so convenient about grabbing a box of cook-and-serve pudding mix and having the pudding practically made for you. But did you know that you can actually make your own cook-and-serve pudding mix? And it only uses 4 ingredients, at least 3 of which you probably already have on hand. In less than the time it would take you to locate your favorite box of pudding on that gallery-style wall of options at the grocery story, you can whisk together the ingredients for this mix, which you can then keep on hand in your pantry for when those cravings for something sweet hit.
