Dear Reader,
Yum! Yum! Linda, a reader at the book club says...
"Suzanne, our family is into food (eating it, cooking it, shopping for it, talking about it). We even have a son who's a chef, and another who's an architect, whose firm designs restaurants. Thought that I'd share one of our favorite recipes: it's easy to make, serves a lot and people will ask you to run home and make more if you bring it to a potluck or picnic. I think that the original recipe was in a magazine along with an ad for pudding, or vanilla wafers, or one of the other ingredients but I've been making this since June of 1985.
Berries 'N' Bits Pudding
1 14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk
1 cup cold water
1 small size instant vanilla pudding
2 cups whipping cream, whipped
36 vanilla wafers
4 cups sliced fresh strawberries (don't even bother making this if the strawberries aren't good)
3/4 cup mini chocolate chips additional wafers, berries and chips for decorating the top, if desired
In large bowl combine water and condensed milk. Add dry pudding and mix well. Chill 5 minutes. Fold in whipped cream. Spoon 2 cups of the mixture into a 3-quart glass bowl. Top with half each, of the wafers, berries and chips. Cover with half of the remaining pudding mixture. Layer the rest of the wafers, berries and chips and cover with the last of the pudding. Garnish with additional wafers (not too many), berries and chips if you like. Cover and chill thoroughly. 10-12 (or more) delicious servings.
I am going to try the recipe tomorrow, Linda. Thanks so much for sending it. Watch your mail, I'll be sending you a free book as a thank you.
Thanks for reading with me. It's so good to read with friends.
