Dr. Oetker Smooth & Creamy Vanilla Pudding Mix 125g

Dr. Oetker has been making vanilla pudding powder since the brand's earliest days in Bielefeld, Germany. One blue sachet, 750 ml of milk, and about five minutes on the stove gives you a smooth, creamy vanilla pudding that works equally well on its own or as the base for something more involved.

The powder dissolves cleanly into cold or warm milk with no lumping. Bring it to a gentle boil while stirring, keep the heat on for two to three minutes more, and pour into bowls. As it cools it sets to the classic soft-firm texture the brand is known for — not wobbly, not stiff, just properly creamy.

One sachet makes enough to serve four to six people, which makes it a practical pantry staple rather than a single-use treat. Families keep it on the shelf for weeknight desserts; bakers reach for it when they need a quick tart or cake filling. The mild vanilla flavour layers well with fruit, caramel, chocolate ganache, or whipped cream without competing with anything.

Common uses:

• Classic chilled vanilla pudding — serve in glasses with a dusting of cinnamon or a spoonful of jam
• Layer in a trifle with sponge cake, berries, and cream
• Fill tart shells, choux, or mille-feuille
• Use as a muhallebi-style dessert — pour warm into a dish, chill, and cut into squares
• Base for German Buttercreme cake frosting
• Stabiliser layer in no-bake cheesecakes

Ingredients: sugar, modified corn starch, salt, flavouring, vanilla extract (0.1%), colour (carotene). Contains no artificial preservatives. Preparation requires 750 ml whole or semi-skimmed milk (not included). Store the unopened sachet in a cool, dry place.

Dr. Oetker is a German family company founded in 1891. Its pudding powders are produced to the same European food standards, making this sachet the same quality you would find in supermarkets across Germany, the Netherlands, and the UK.
