This sounds really good - have you tried this with toasted coconut?
Any boxed flavor, mixed with diet sprite or any other soda. I usually do a single serving in the microwave but have done a whole one in the oven.
Or boxed chocolate mixed with chobani greek yogurt. I nuke that in a mug!
My BF likes it when I make him peach cobbler with box white cake, peaches and butter. Takes 5 minutes to prep and not too long to cook. I usually just make a quarter pan size serving. Same size as Chinese take out trays.
1 box (4-serving size) vanilla instant pudding and pie filling mix
1 cup water-- I've done 1/2 OJ 1/2 water..
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 to 2 teaspoons grated orange peel
4 eggs
1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries, chopped (do not thaw frozen cranberries)
I've always used fresh and cut a bunch in half and leave some whole..
Powdered sugar, if desired..
---------------------------------------------
Orange Sauce, if desired
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/2 cup orange juice
1/2 cup butter or margarine
