Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix the Eagle Brand milk, drained crushed pineapple, cherry or fruit-flavored pie filling, and whipped cream together in a bowl.
- Serve immediately or chill before serving for a cooler dessert.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter version, substitute the whipped cream with a lighter whipped topping or Greek yogurt. You can also use low-fat Eagle Brand milk for a healthier twist. If you don’t have crushed pineapple, canned peaches or pears can work as alternatives. This pudding can be enhanced with a sprinkle of coconut or nuts for added texture. Consider trying similar recipes like Banana Coconut Cream Pudding for more fruity flavors.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this pudding in individual cups or bowls for a fun presentation. It pairs beautifully with fresh fruit or a drizzle of chocolate sauce. For a complete dessert spread, consider serving it alongside Ham Or Chicken Puffs or even Cherry Junk for a delightful mix of flavors.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If you've chilled the pudding, it can be served straight from the fridge, but if it seems too thick, gently stir in a little milk to loosen the consistency before serving.
