Ingredients

  • 2 pkg. (3.4 oz. each) JELL-O Vanilla Flavor Instant Pudding
  • 1-1/2 cups cold milk
  • 1 cup cold half-and-half
  • 1/2 cup Marsala wine
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 Tbsp. powdered sugar
  • 1 cup mixed fresh berries (blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)

Preparation

Step 1

BEAT pudding mixes, milk, half-and-half and wine with whisk 2 min.

POUR into shallow 1-qt. baking dish. Refrigerate 15 min.

HEAT broiler. Mix sugars; sprinkle over pudding. Broil, 6 inches from heat, 3 to 5 min. or until sugars are melted and caramelized. Let stand 5 min. Top with fruit. Serve immediately.

Substitute Madeira wine or additional milk for the Marsala wine.

Softening Brown Sugar: If your brown sugar has turned into a hard, compacted lump, add a slice of bread or an apple wedge to the bag or canister. Seal and let stand until softened, about 1 to 2 days. For quicker softening, microwave on HIGH at 30 second intervals, just until softened, taking care not to melt the sugar.
