I love hearing your stories about how you’re using the recipes you find here at Heavenly Homemakers! Please take pictures and send them to me along with your stories so that I can share them with readers here for everyone to enjoy. :)
I’m sharing two stories today since the recipes are quite similar. We’re going with a pudding theme today. Delicious comfort food in a bowl…or a mug.
From Erika:
I love your pudding recipes! They are so delicious and so much better than boxed instant pudding. I was never much a fan of pudding in general until I made your vanilla recipe. Great stuff! I attached a photo of our desert tonight: Layered Heavenly Homemakers vanilla and chocolate puddings with crushed oreos on top. The oreos aren’t exactly wholesome, real food so just look past that part! :)
Oreos? I don’t see any oreos. That dessert looks beautiful though! ;) My boys saw this picture, and what do you think they’re asking for now? I may just have to give in and make this. :)
Now for the warm, drinkable version of this pudding recipe, here’s a story of how Meredith served Warm Vanilla Soother to her family:
Hi Laura !! After a 2 a.m. tummy trouble tea party with a tremendously talkative two year old and waking to a dark drizzly Seattle morning, we decided that the warm vanilla soother would be the perfect start to our day !! I enlisted my favorite 3 1/2 year old to do the stirring :) I decided to try adding a bittle lit of imitation rum extract to try to make it a warm eggnog soother. We couldn’t really taste it but it was fun to experiment :) It was a hit ! Some of us really REALLY got into it.Thanks again for another amazing recipe !! Meredith
This brings back memories of my little boys climbing on a chair to help me stir. {happy sigh}
I have yet to make Warm Vanilla Soother this fall. I am now very inspired to whip it up.
(Read: I’m totally hungry for it after seeing all the pudding and soother pictures.)
She is soooo sweet!
Could her grin be any bigger? I think she likes it, Mom.
You guys have no idea how thrilled I am to get a glimpse into your lives. Thank you for honoring me by sending your pictures and stories. Keep ’em coming! Send me your stories!
Laura any idea how to make this egg free? I have made egg free pudding recipes before but not sure what I would swap for this. Do the eggs just make it thick?
The eggs thicken it and make it creamy, so if you know of an alternative, it would be fun to hear so others (including me) can learn from that!
Here is a link to some egg substitues…

We use the 2 Tbs. water, 1 Tbs. oil, and 1/2 tsp. baking powder substitute for Laura’s chocolate pudding recipe and we love it!
This substitue equals one egg, so we triple it for the pudding. Mix separately and then add to the recipe instead of the eggs. We use light tasting olive oil.
That is what I use in baked goods as well for substitute. I never thought to use it in this! I am going to try it now for my son and I! Thanks.
I just made this using 3 tablespoons coconut oil, 2 teaspoons baking powder and 3 tablespoons water(mixed together) in place of the eggs. And it worked wonderfully. So delicious.
