    We use skim milk and it works just fine.

    Interesting.... I was feeling pessimistic about trying it with almond milk, given most of the reviews I had seen, but had a huge stock of Sugar Free Jello Instant Pudding mixes from when I uses to go through a box or 2 a week, but have since stopped drinking dairy milk. So I figured it wouldn't hurt. I thought maybe I'd proceed with caution and start out using like 2/3 a cup of almond mix with a full box, and it set up great, way thicker than I'd have preferred. So I added a third of a cup more milk, a little closer to ideal, then a quarter cup, and it was perfect! I don't know if I got different results because of my particular brand or just because I toyed around until I found an amount that worked... but it worked!

    So what the the total amount of almond milk actually used?? 1-1/4?? Also what brand do you use??

    I just used coconut milk tonight. I used 1.5 cups coconut milk and added 2 tsp cornstarch to the pudding mix before adding the liquid. It turned out great.

    I used 1 cup chocolate almond milk, 1 scoop vanilla protein, 1 large box sugar/fat free chocolate pudding, and it came out awesome! It was a little thick, so i added a little more choc. almond milk but i didnt measure it. Hope this helps!! :)

    I assume subtracting 1 cup of liquid changes the portion size, or maybe I should say the amount of servings, correct?? I will have to try this!

    Maybe enter it into the recipe builder to find out the calories per new serving size?

    In order for instant pudding to set, it needs to bind with the casein protein in milk (which is why almond milk and soy milky do not work). It does also bond with whey to a degree, so if you use whey isolate and water, it may work. However, if you have casein isolate, it will work perfectly with water or soy or whatever.

    My favorite recipe is 1/2 cup of greek yogurt (plain or flavored), 1 TB of sugar free pudding (I found cheesecake to be the best so far), 1/4 cup of almond milk. Mix it all together and add in any other mix ins. I love a dew chocolate chips in mine.

    I used about 1/4 container of the tofu and half if a bans with 1 cup almond milk. This was so good and will definitely make again! I added a little more almond milk to get the right consistency.

    Instant vanilla pudding with a cup and a half of almond milk and a tablespoon of vanilla protein powder mixed well with hand blender then poured into two cups made a satisfying treat without the dairy; delightful. Thanks for the suggestion of adding the protein powder it thickened right up.

    Wow, we are all craving pudding! I made this earlier today with unsweetened vanilla almond milk. Using half the amount worked perfect, I whipped it for about 5 minutes and I added a teaspoon of cinnamon so it tasted like Mexican hot chocolate, delish!

    Thank for sharing! Slainte :drinker:
