Homemade Pudding Mixes

IMAGE by Jonni McCoy

Q: My family and I really enjoy Jell-O pudding. I know there has to be a way to make our own and save some money. Do you have a recipe for pudding?

Thanks,
Mindy M.


A: We love pudding, too. Making it yourself does save money, especially if you make a large batch of instant pudding, and make servings from that. Doing it this way makes each serving cost 15 cents as opposed to 25 cents from a store bought mix. I have included 4 flavors of pudding recipes.
