DIY Instant Vanilla Pudding Mix
134 comments » 
Confession time. I really love the idea of making as much as possible from scratch. Not only do I know exactly what is in something, but 99.9% of the time, the homemade version contains significantly less processed ingredients (and usually none at all). From body scrubs to taco seasoning mix and hot chocolate mix, I’ve been working on transforming the convenience packages for homemade versions. The truth is, that the from-scratch versions of these things take literally minutes to make and are infinitely cheaper, not to mention healthier. My search for a DIY instant pudding mix spun off of my search for a from-scratch version of a favorite family cake. The problem? The “recipe” was basically a box cake mix with a box of instant pudding and a few other ingredients. I knew I wanted to make the cake from scratch, but boy does that box of pudding do wonders to a cake, right? Makes it so moist and melt-in-your-mouth fantastic. I needed to somehow mimic those characteristics, when lo and behold, I actually found a formula for instant pudding mix!
I was able to throw this together in 5 minutes, and now I have a stash of instant pudding for whenever I see a recipe that calls for a mix. Not only do I not have to run to the store, but I can keep from-scratch recipes just that.
In addition to using it in your own recipes, this would make a great gift for the holidays. Maybe a basket of this, some homemade cocoa mix, homemade vanilla extract, and other goodies. I am working on a chocolate version as well, so stay tuned!
Now just wait until you see what I have up my sleeve. I think you’re going to love the cake that I used this mix in! It’s an oldie but a goodie, and reinvented to be completely homemade. Be sure to check back tomorrow!

DIY Instant Vanilla Pudding Mix
Yield: 20 to 25 servings (enough for 5 batches of pudding)
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
1 cup granulated sugar
¾ cup cornstarch
¾ cup nonfat dry milk powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 whole vanilla beansDirections:
1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, milk powder, and salt; set aside.
2. Split open the vanilla beans and use the back of a knife to scrape out the seeds. Add the seeds to the sugar mixture, and again whisk well to evenly combine, using a fork or the back of the spoon to break up any chunks of vanilla bean seeds. Cut the empty vanilla bean pods into two or three pieces each.
3. Place the vanilla bean pieces into an airtight container or jar, and add the sugar mixture. Seal it, and then give it a few good shakes to distribute the vanilla bean pieces evenly. Store in a cool, dry place.
To make pudding: Combine 2 cups of milk with ½ cup of the instant pudding mix in a medium saucepan over high heat, whisking constantly. Bring to a boil, and then immediately reduce the heat to a simmer and continue whisking until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon (about 3 to 5 minutes). Let sit for at least 5 minutes before serving. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

This is awesome! I see recipes that call for pudding mix all the time and sometimes I’d like to just add what I’d call a “sprinkling” of pudding mix, not necessarily a whole packet. And now…I can. THANKS! for this post!!

This sounds so cool!! I’ve made many cakes but I’ve never made a cake that called for a box of instant pudding… Sounds interesting, but I’m definitely looking forward to seeing your version and I plan to try that out as soon as I get the chance!! Thank you for this post!

This is great! On a side note, is there anything that can be done with the leftover vanilla beans so they don’t go to waste?

Hi Sharon, Once your batch is done, you could use the vanilla beans to make your own vanilla extract, or put them in a container of sugar to make vanilla sugar.

Angelina on March 12th, 2013 at 4:14 pm
I put all my scraped vanilla beans into a mason jar with lid and sugar. As you use it replace sugar…. Shake it every other day or so

This sounds like a delicious Cooked pudding mix, convenient and definitely cheaper. However…it’s not an instant pudding, those just mix with milk and chill and thicken, maybe with agar agar or superfine gelatin or something. I much prefer a cooked-old fashioned pudding though!

Thank you so much for this recipe! I live in the UK where I can’t get instant pudding like in the US. There are so many cake recipes that call for instant pudding and I just can’t make them.

missy on April 17th, 2012 at 7:34 pm
so you sift them out when you are using the mix in something or cooking it as pudding?
Reply
Michelle on April 18th, 2012 at 4:53 pm
I just leave them in the jar until I’m done with the mix. They’ll continue to infuse the pudding mix while in there. You don’t use them for the pudding, but they provide flavor.

Awesome! There have been so many recipes that I’ve wanted to try – but don’t – because of the instant pudding factor. This solves it!

This is amazing! I see so many dessert recipes that call for instant pudding mix and I always have to sadly pass them up because I’m so turned off by ingredients like that…but if I there’s a homemade version I don’t have to do that anymore! Thanks!

This is genius!! So many times I see a recipe that calls for just a little bit of pudding mix and I end up not making it because I don’t want to buy a box just to use a small portion then have it sit in my pantry. I need to make this asap then revisit all those recipes I pushed aside
Reply
Making your own pudding mix is a fine idea, but this is NOT instant pudding. If you have to cook it, it’s regular, cook and serve pudding. And you absolutely have to cook it with all the corn starch. It might not even work in a cake mix, since you aren’t incorporating enough moisture to counterbalance the starch. Sorry to be a wet blanket, but you can’t call this instant.

Shirlene on April 17th, 2012 at 10:05 am

Lana on April 21st, 2012 at 10:32 pm
If you look at a box of Jell-O instant pudding mix, the first two ingredients that are listed are sugar and modified cornstarch. Using regular cornstarch, instead of modified, means that you DO have to cook it. However, this is probably fine for use in a baked product.

This is got to taste wonderful when mixed up, especially with the vanilla beans in the mix! Looking forward to seeing the scratch cake you make with it.

Is there any way to make this vanilla pudding in the microwave? I love the idea of always having some instant pudding on hand, but only have a microwave to cook (college student).

Hi Winnie, I am not aware of a way to cook this in a microwave, unfortunately.

Peggy on July 13th, 2012 at 4:40 pm
Any pudding can easily be converted to microwave. Just stir and continue cooking until thickened about 1 min intervals. Usually between 4 to 6 min…depending on wattage of microwave and size of batch.

Jo-Ellen on May 3rd, 2012 at 12:42 am
Mix the milk and mix and microwave on high, stirring every two minutes, until the mixture comes to a full boil.

Kris on May 3rd, 2012 at 6:05 pm
When I make cooked puddings in the microwave (which I do at least twice a week, I do love my warm pudding!), all I do is whisk together the dry ingredients, add the milk, whisk well and microwave on high for 2-4 minutes checking every minute or 2 minutes to see the consistency. It’s super easy!! I make my own no sugar-low fat pudding this way to stave off cravings for more indulgent fare midweek. 1/3 cup Splenda, 1/4 cup cornstarch, 1/2 tsp. salt, 2 cups of milk. After it’s cooked you can add your flavourings (or add cocoa with the dry ingredients).
Again, it’s super easy!

I’m also becoming slightly obsessed with using as many homemade, from scratch ingredients as I can. The more I read ingredients lists from processed foods, the moreI want to avoid them. Ick!
Reply
This is a great recipe you’ve made.
Makes 5 batches – take the total volume/weight and divide by 5 and put 1/5 in each cake mix? I think rather than doing the vanilla bean, I might just put 1/2 teaspoon extra of vanilla extract into the cake mix.
I guess to make other flavors (butterscotch, etc), you could add extract flavorings to create them.

This is so awesome! I too love making everything possible from scratch. In this day and age it is so rare to find other people who are as dedicated to homemade goods without preservatives. It’s a great way to make treats kind of healthy, so you can enjoy them without any guilt. Thanks so much for sharing : )

You are so absolutely right about pudding mixes making the difference in some of these cake recipes! I’m like you and try to make things from scratch so I at least know how to pronounce the names of the ingredients. Vanilla pudding is definitely a must-have recipe. Thank you so much for providing this.

I’ve never even knew you could make a homemade pudding mix! Love this idea!! Is there anyway to substitute vanilla bean paste for the vanilla bean in this recipe?

Hi Asiya, You can use 2 teaspoons of vanilla bean paste as a substitute for the 2 vanilla beans.
Reply
Asiya on April 17th, 2012 at 2:42 pm
Thx for your response! When would I add the paste? It doesn’t seem right to add it to the dry mix.
Reply
Michelle on April 18th, 2012 at 4:48 pm
I would add it to the dry mix, just be sure to use the back of a spoon or a fork to make sure it’s broken up and evenly distributed. If you prefer not to, then just stir the appropriate substitution into the prepared pudding.

Asiya on April 20th, 2012 at 10:44 am

I too am concerned about processed food and what we consume. This is a great adaptation for regular, cooked pudding.

This is fantastic! I’ve been wondering how to wean myself off of my dependence on pudding mix. Looks like now I wont’ have to! And I don’t have to feel guilty about it. I’d love to try some different flavor variations of this…pistachio pudding anyone??

What is the ratio if I want to use the plain vanilla extract instead of the vanilla bean?
Reply
Michelle on April 17th, 2012 at 2:04 pm
Hi Elaine, You would have to add the vanilla extract to the actual pudding, not the mix. I would probably do a 1/2 teaspoon per batch.

This is awesome! I can’t wait for the chocolate version.

My question is, is this really an instant where you can add it to recipes that call for instant pudding. I am wondering because you said you have to cook it. Doesn’t that mean it is a cook and serve, not an instant?

Now you’re speaking my language. I’m always disappointed when I click on a recipe for a cake that sounds amazing only to find the directions telling me to take a box cake mix and add a box pudding mix. I’d so much rather get some flour, sugar, vanilla, etc., etc. Looking forward to the cake recipe!

I noticed that someone wanted to attempt to make frozen pudding pops; if you[re going to do that, you need to substitute modified cornstarch for the regular cornstarch in the mix. Modified cornstarch is usually found under the name Clear-jel or Thermoflo. The substitution is necessary because regular cornstarch will break down when frozen, causing water seepage as the pop melts, as well as a really unpleasant texture. There is also an instant cornstarch, which requires no heat. I don;t know if it would work to substitute that measure for measure in this mix, though. I think the proportions needed might be different.

I too, am unhappy with all of the chemicals in box mixes and I’m excited to try this! I noticed in your rum cake recipe, you substituted 1 cup of this mix for a 3.4 oz box of instant pudding mix. Should that conversion work for any recipe? I made a batch of the mix a little while ago and tomorrow night’s dessert is going to be fresh strawberries with vanilla pudding and homemade chocolate syrup. Thanks, Michelle!

I really love this idea, I really do. The only thing that is hanging me up when I make the pudding is the color. Since there are no eggs, it’s white. Otherwise, it taste good. Any suggestions? I hate to add food coloring, then its not natural.

Hi Marianne, If you don’t want to use food coloring, I’m not aware of any way you can add color to the pudding without changing the flavor.
Reply
shalom on November 7th, 2012 at 5:58 pm
Try a tiny bit of tumeric, it is frequently used to add yellow color. If I remember right it gives mustard the yellow color. Adding too much could alter the flavor, so be careful. Saffron would also work – it is expensive but a tiny bit goes a long way. BTW, tumeric is a healthy spice to use. There may be other spices that coul be used.
UMM how about a cinnamon pudding!

Hi Kathy, You can buy them at the grocery store where you find the vanilla extract and spices, or you can order them online at places like Amazon, King Arthur Flour, Penzeys, etc.

So if a recipe calls for 3.4 oz box of instant pudding, could this be used instead? And if so, how much? Would it be equal substitution?

Michelle on June 23rd, 2012 at 8:34 pm
Hi Lauren, Yes, you would use 1 cup of this mix in place of a 3.4 oz box of instant pudding.

Love the idea of having a pudding mix available all the time, however this isn’t instant as you don’t cook those. Also as one person mentioned you should add vanilla extract to the cake or mix it into your pudding right before cooking it on the stove, not use vanilla beans. Vanilla beans where I live are $17.00 for three,so I buy them online to make my own vanilla extract and get them for $18-$19.00 for 25, including shipping. I’m not sure how a non-instant pudding mix would do in the cake mix as I haven’t really experimented with those. Still great idea for keeping pudding mixes on hand. You could change them up by adding different flavorings, like banana extract for banana pudding or cocoa powder for chocolate pudding. Thanks for posting your recipe, it’s going into my keep file

Hi there – Lovely website:)
Am wondering if you ever managed to tackle that cake into which you were going to add this pudding mix?
I’m trying (in vain so far; *sigh*) – to replicate from scratch a boxed-cake + pudding-mix combo that I made for my sister. I stupidly told her it was homemade and now she is begging for the recipe. Suppose I could tell her it’s top secret but that’d probably just make her more suspicious, lol.

Hi Michelle, could you please suggest some brand names for non fat dry milk. I live in Dubai and we have brands like nido, klim, rainbow for powdered milk but all of them are whole milk powders. will they work? I don’t know what to look for so a few names might help. Thanks.

Hi
I made this pudding mix and then followed the directions to make the pudding. After a couple minutes the pudding thickened just like you stated. I left the leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and when I took them out the pudding hardened into a rubbery brick, it was uneatable. What went wrong? Can anyone advice me on how to stop this from happening again?
Thanks!

Any luck with the chocolate pudding? Also how long of a shelf life would you estimate for this? I like to date my stuff (I’m a little OCD) and was wondering how long before it becomes stale.

Hi Cristina, I haven’t made it yet. As for shelf life, I’d say 6 to 12 months – as long as your dry ingredients are good for, which is a pretty long time.
