Chef’s Secret

For a thicker, richer pudding, substitute half of the milk with heavy cream when preparing the mix.

Substitutions

Best Match

Vanilla Instant Pudding Mix + Pineapple Extract

1 box mix: 1-2 tsp extract

Closest substitute for texture and convenience, just add desired pineapple flavor.

Cream Cheese + Crushed Pineapple

Varies

For a no-cook, creamy, and fruity dessert base with natural pineapple flavor.

Tapioca Pudding

1:1

Offers a different texture but is a similar creamy, sweet dessert base; can add pineapple chunks.

Yogurt + Crushed Pineapple

1:1

A healthier, tangy, and fruity dessert alternative with a similar soft consistency.
