A creamy, often well-tolerated, high-calorie pudding that works as a great dessert for those needing to add protein and calories to their daily intake. For those requiring a lower fat alternative, reduced-fat milk may be substituted. Non-dairy, lactose-free options like soy, rice, or almond milk can work as well. Yield: 4 servings
