Vanilla Pudding (Custard)

This is my vanilla pudding recipe. I use it for several different things. Pudding, custard, cream pies, etc.

The vanilla version is naturally a light yellow in color, so I think you will like this.

• 1 1/3 cups sugar
• 1/2 cup cornstarch
• 4 cups soy milk (or other sub)
• 4 eggs
• 2 tsp. GF vanilla
• dash salt
• 1 stick soy butter (or other sub)

1. In a large saucepan, mix cornstarch, sugar, and 1/4 cup of milk.
2. Stir till a thick smooth paste.
3. Add eggs and stir well.
4. Add rest of milk and salt.
5. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly till thick (takes a while).
6. Remove from heat and add butter and vanilla.

You can add coconut to make it a coconut cream pie. Sliced banana for banana cream pie. Cocoa for chocolate.

I also use this as the filling for a Boston Cream Pie.
