MICROWAVE DF (DAIRY-FREE) PUDDINGS WITH EIGHT FLAVOR OPTIONS
This fabulous recipe has so many options! I like to add a splash of almond extract and serve the vanilla pudding with cherries or strawberries. YUM! You can make this with diary if you like, but you won't know it's dairy-free if you choose to make it that way. When we discovered a family member had milk allergies, good desserts were hard to make. This easy recipe gives you so many delicious options! Feel free to experiment with more. It also works great for pie filling!
