    Here we go again, my friends! I thank you all for your confidence and for liking this post. It truly is an "all-purpose" custard to be used between, in-the-middle-of, on-top-of OR even used as a pie filling.. I hope you all get to enjoy it however you use it! My thanks to you all!

    I always wondered how this was made. I just use a plain old store-bought package of instant pudding, but it isn't the same. Thanks... 5 from me!
