Tips
You can try substituting Vanilla Pudding with Homemade Yogurt Cheese!
How to make yogurt cheese: buy a 1 litre tub of plain yogurt (make sure the ingredients of the yogurt does not contain corn starch! otherwise it won't work. Sometimes it is called Greek yogurt or old-fashioned yogurt). Line a big sieve with cheese cloth or large coffee filter. Rest sieve over a large mixing bowl. Empty yogurt into sieve and let drain over night or more, covered, in the fridge. You will get about 1-1.5 cups of liquid. Discard liquid. After the yogurt is drained (which has now become cheese!), take it out and stir in honey to taste. Yogurt cheese has a very smooth texture and is not as sweet.
