I love this recipe!! So easy! I did as anna did it, and put all the ingredients in a blender and then heated it in the pan. Whoa! great! I added a little cinnamon and my daughter and I shared it while it was still warm. It was such a cold day today and this warmed us from the inside out!

I couldn't get the microwave to do the trick so I used a sauceoan on the stovetop. It did take longer than seven minutes but this was my first attempt at making pudding without buying instant pudding at the store. It was so easy that even I could do it. The family loved it and I'm going to be doing it again..and again. The pudding reminded me of how pudding tasted when I was a kid - and that was 'once upon a time'. Bill

Better than any custard from a box, jug, or tin by far! It really does remind me of something Dutchy from my childhood. And it's so incredibly easy in the microwave. Perfect with hot apple pie!

This is a great recipe! I had tried another pudding recipe that didn't thicken right, and this one did. I followed a previous reviewer's advice to blend in the blender and then heat in a saucepan. Perfect, no microwave involved. The sweetness of this pudding is just right, too.

Very good! And easy, even without the microwave. I used the stove and believe it was less than 7 minutes. I wouldn't use the microwave for this, especially with milk. I used this for a cake and fruit desert, sort of a trifle when I didn't have box pudding on hand and it was much better this way!

Yum! This was sooo good! Made 4 perfect size servings in small wine glasses. I also cooked mine on a stove. I first blended all ingredients except butter with my mixer as I melted butter on the stove, being careful not to burn it. I then poured the ingredients into the pot with the melted butter and stirred almost constantly over medium heat about 5 minutes until the entire mixture was thickened. I poured into glasses and placed in the fridge to let set. This was heaven on a cold and rainy movie night with the kids and my hubby! This was great warm and cold! This will be my pudding recipe from now on as I can see how it could easily be used for filling and modified for different flavors. So easy and so good!

Yummy. I made this on the stove and added to bars of unsweetened chocolate and it turned out great. Thanks! I am going to email this one to my mom.

Pretty good. I'd make it again because it is just so quick & easy. Following another reviewer's suggestion, I used a blender to blend all the ingredients, then heated it in a saucepan on the stove. I also added a pinch of nutmeg - I liked the addition. To be a PERFECT pudding though, I think it would have to be a little richer & thicker. This had the consistency of a thicker yogurt. It tasted good - but not decadent. :)

This was good, and very easy. I made it on the stove, following the recommendations of some other reviewers. I used brown sugar instead of white to make it butterscotch. Mmm!

This recipe is excellent. But, I have made it simple and you don't microwave. Just take all of the ingredients put them in the blender for one minute and then place into a saucepan on medium heat stirring until thickened! I added two squares of shaved dark chocolate and it was chocolate pudding. The texture in this pudding is superb! Has lots of versatility also (banana, strawberry, butterscotch). Would be excellent to fill cakes with! Thank you very much for a great recipe!

Fabulous. I NEVER make anything in the microwave but I like to try a recipe in its original form to begin with so I did. The results were perfect. I added 1.5 tablespoons of orange zest at the end with the vanilla and butter, and the second batch I did, I added 1/2 cup chocolate chips and whipped them until they were melted and fully blended. Both variations worked out very well :)

I picked this recipe as a last minute, easy to make and "I have the ingredients" snack. I halved the ingredients and cooked it over the stove- it was excellent! Great mouth feel, good homemade pudding taste, very satisfying! Also, it was smooth as silk with a beautiful color- eye appeal! I added the liquids cold to prevent lumps- really good! Thanx for the great snack! I give it 4.5 stars!

It's VLA! Wow, looking for an easy pudding recipe I stumbled on this one and discovered it tasted exactly like vla, the dutch version of pudding! I reseached it and the recipes are very similar. Having grown up with the pre-made version of this I am delighted to be able to very easily make my own! I serve mine with cut up strawberries, fun to make and delicious!
