Comments

    1. No. I’ve never had a soggy crust. If you are worried about it, you can add a thin layer of melted chocolate or white chocolate.

  1. Do you think it would still work well with substituting non dairy milk like coconut/almond milk?

    1. You cannot substitute coconut milk when using instant pudding, it won’t set up correctly. You can only use non dairy milks when using the cook and serve puddings, oat milk makes the thickest pudding coconut milk makes the thinnest so you would have to use less milk when cooking to make a thicker pudding.
