I believe I recently got a recipe from here for Pumkin Trifle. If so, I have a question. The ingredient list calls for a large box of instant vanilla pudding but in the directions is says "mix milk with a small box". Can someone clafiry. I would really like to make this for a dinner I have to go to.
thanks so much.
 
Umm now that sounds yummy! I have the perfect ingredients to make one too! Sorry no help!
 
If it's my Pumpkin Gingerbread Trifle, it's the large box of pudding. Sorry for the mix-up. I'll double-check my posting.BTW, The Furry Guy decided it's a bit too "soupy," so I'm cutting the milk back to 3 cups. It's not necessary, but it's an adjustment I'm making.

I write this with "egg on my face". I re-read the recipe and realized that what I was reading that called for the small box is a separate layer for the trifle. Please, please, forgive me - another "senior moment" :eek: I will be making it in a few days - hopefully reading the recipe correctly.

By the way, the Pumpkin Gingerbread recipe is right :)
 
Hi there! I'm happy to help clarify the recipe for you. The recipe calls for a large box of instant vanilla pudding, but in the directions, it should say to mix the pudding with the amount of milk listed on the small box. This is just a small error in the directions and will not affect the overall outcome of the trifle. I hope this helps and that you enjoy making it for your dinner! Let me know if you have any other questions. Happy cooking!
