Description

Spicy creamy pudding

Ingredients

1⁄2ctinstant vanilla pudding mix
1⁄3cdry milk
2Tchai drink mix
1Tcandied ginger
1ccold water

Notes

We used Trader Joe's all natural instant pudding mix (see here: http://blog.trailcooking.com/2009/09/11/trail-pudding-pies/ ), feel free to use whatever brand you prefer. You will want 1/2 of a 4 serving box, usually around 3 to 4 ounces in size.

We used un-crystallized candied ginger, another Trader Joe's find. You can of course use any version. Candied ginger is expensive if you buy it in the spice aisle, look with the dried fruit or in bulk sections of spices to get it cheaply!

For the chai mix we used http://www.bigtrain.com/ version. If you like it less spicy/sweet cut it back to 1 Tbsp mix.

Note: On the serving size - this serves 1 to 2 people.

Instructions

At home:
Dice the ginger up finely. Add it, the pudding mix and dry milk to a pint freezer bag or sandwich bag.

In camp:
Add a shy 1 cup cold water, seal tightly and shake for a couple minutes. Find a cold creek or snowbank to stash the pudding in. Let sit for 10 minutes or longer to finish setting up.

Top with more ginger and cinnamon if desired.

My fellow hikers love this

My fellow hikers love this recipe, even if they don't like ginger. It set very well and gives you a good energy boost. My only suggestion is beware of the serving size, as it was a little too big for one serve.
