Hello, I noticed a bottle of vanilla extract in the photo but it is not in the recipe. Do I use vanilla extract?
Charlotte
Yes, I used 1/2 tsp vanilla. Thanks for your comment! I have corrected the recipe.

Does this stay stable so it can be used as a filling for cream puffs.
How long will it stay stable?
Charlotte
Hi, I'm not sure how long this will stay stable. It does have a fairly sturdy texture once it is prepared. Most pudding mixes contain stabilizers, so I am guessing it might work.
