Pour into your favorite dessert glass and chill thoroughly.

Microwave Instructions

Microwave at HIGH (100%) 7 to 10 minutes or until mixture comes to full boil, stirring every few minutes.

  Stir in butter and vanilla. Pour into dishes to cool.  

Recipe Notes

Recommend whole milk for the creamiest texture.

DO NOT OVER STIR:  A nice consistent gentle whisk will do.  Anything more can break down the cornstarch and leave you with a runnier pudding.  It will still be good just not as thick.
