"Faced with the challenge of finding a dessert that met the requirements of the WW Core program, I modified a recipe from one of my favorite cookbooks, “The New American Plate.” This is Core plus points for the sugar used, if any. I made mine with the brown sugar Splenda but use what you have on hand. I have done this with the cinnmon sticks, with the vanilla bean and a combination. Both were good. This is not a very sweet pudding and works well rewarmed for breakfast the next day. Thought it was good enough to share...."
