I really like the chocolate pudding. I made some yesterday and took it to work for an afternoon snack. Well, I wound up getting really busy and never got around to eating it (I made up for it by having a late-night shake at home). I figured I would just have the pudding today. Except when I got it out of the refrigerator, it was no longer thick and pudding-y. It was more the consistency of chocolate sauce, not chocolate pudding.

Has anyone else had a similar experience? Does this mean that we HAVE to eat the pudding within a certain timeframe?

(Although, it just occurred to me that this "sauce" might be really good poured over those brownies that everyone is talking aobut--almost like a ganache--yummy!).

Lynda, I find that if you refridgerate beyond the recommended 30 minutes it does start to break down some. Also, if you by chance licked the spoon there is probably enough saliva on the spoon to start to break it down as well. I always make my puddings with a bit less water than they suggest as I like them extra thick.

They're also a bit inconsistent. Some of my puddings come out runnier than others even if I make them exactly the same way.

My pudding is always a little runny, but that is probably because I make them a day or two in advance.

Thanks for the input, everyone.

Marsailles- I must have missed the tidbit about 30 minutes. I'll keep it in mind next from now on.

I make the pudding up in batches of 8 servings and they sometimes will sit in the fridge for 5 days or more. I have never had a real problume with that. I do add a little less of the recomended water. I have found that making more than one packet at a time works better for me than just mixing one at a time. I almost always end up chocolate soup if I only make one at a time.

I find that I like the Pudding the best when I make it up and give it an hour or so in the freezer..

Yummy..

Thanks Sheila! I was wondering if pudding was freezer friendly; I was thinking of eating that tommorow at my parents place while everyone is having cake and ice cream.

I tried the chocolate pudding with 1/2 hour in the freezer. Wonderful! Thanks for the tip.

I definitely haven't gotten the perfect consistency yet with the chocolate, but I'm having fun trying, because it's still yummy!

I mean c'mon, it's chocolate, it's worth it!!! Did I say that?

I put chocolate SF syrup and 2 splenda in mine, it taste very good, also add a dollop of the new SF cool whip on top, yummy

I usually make my pudding on the days that I go to work so it sits in my lunch pail with frozen ice for about six - eight hours. No problems here. The consistency is always just right.
