Was placed under a few restrictions, managed to make a pretty good product regardless :D


All of like 5 people saw it, but I made a post on here a while back asking if I could make caramel pudding from vanilla pudding mix. Long story short, I make the pudding for deli/salad on the days I work now and I had a few restrictions (can't make it from scratch and only have 3 flavor mixes to work with). But I did it >:). The world doubted me and I did it, bwahaha!

'Tis a delightful caramel pudding topped with whipped topping and caramel sauce. I was worried it would be too sweet from all the caramel I threw in but it wasn't an issue at all.

I wasn't working at the time but apparently the students went nuts for this stuff. "Sold out" (heavy quotations as this is a buffet) in literally less that a day. Heathens gobbled up all 3 trays I made and I couldn't be happier, which is surprisingly given they don't normally eat the pudding like that. I'll probably make it again this weekend while I brainstorm other pudding flavors to do for the week after lol

    Nice pudding! From a former cafeteria worker don’t be surprised if the next move is “don’t make that again too many students liked that and we ran out too quick”. Happened to me with sausage pizza.

    Pudding your culinary skills to the test. Nice work!

    Do you have access to nilla wafers or graham crackers? You could do a banana pudding

    A vanilla waffer at the bottom of that would slap.

    The banana pudding w/ nilla wafers someone else mentioned would be my next move, personally.

    There’s a “eclair parfait” thing in our recipes at Aramark, that’s like a graham cracker base, with a vanilla pudding layer, and then a chocolate ganache, and if you’re feeling randy – topped with a dollop of whipped cream. I dunno if it’s necessarily an eclair, but it can be good if done right.

    I would *destroy* several of those. Good job.
