I tried using it to make pudding mix and all I got was a gloppy mess that never did thicken. Don't know why or what it needs to thicken. I've seen suggestions before about using cookable vanilla pudding mix and soy milk as a substitute for using in pumkin pie, but don't remember the proportions off hand. Since I can't have the whipped cream (my favorite part), I'll just forgo the whole thing this year :-( Kathy
