Pudding with Almond Breeze - Hungry Girl Style!

I am a fan of Hungry Girl,  How can yo not be with all the easy low cal and low carb recipes that she comes up with.  This one is a special favorite of mine now.  I tried to make pudding the other week with Almond milk, and although it was a thicker consistency the flavor was awful and it was not worth you trying yourself.  Today I see that Hungry Girl had also tried this and found what a pudding disaster Almond Milk made.  It's the only thing Almond milk can not handle.  But they found a work around, it's not instant but it's pudding!
