I didn’t want to make this orange pudding recipe the last recipe for the orange color theme. I really couldn’t wait for you to try it and enjoy its silky and smooth texture. It so simple to make and I will show you how.

I have to admit, I do buy artificial puddings, it makes life easy but If you are looking for the original flavor of pudding without the after taste, you have to make your own from scratch. It is not time-consuming, but you need to use eggs and this might scare people away since having overcooked eggs or even undercooked is a bad idea.

Looking at this recipe, you might wonder what to do with the leftover egg whites. I suggest that you keep the egg white in Ziploc bag and freeze it.
