Instant pudding mixes are a great option for a dessert while backpacking.
They are lightweight, inexpensive, high in calories, available everywhere, and several of the Jell-O instant pudding mixes are vegan.
However, they won’t set up with nondairy milk if you follow the directions on the box.
The solution? Just add less liquid.
Combine pudding with Newman-o’s cookies for a delicious parfait that only takes a few minutes to make.

Woah I never would have thought to make pudding on the trail! And this looks fairly high calorie too, getting enough calories in your mouth in a day can be an issue for long distance hikers. Thanks for sharing!
