Soy Milk

Just a quick question about soy milk.

Does it work the same as regular milk when making things. Pudding for example. Or anything else that usually calls for milk?

Or would Lactaid work better in those instances? Soy Milk contains less sugar so I usually buy that, but if Lactaid would work better, I would use that.

TIA

pudding will not set with soy... trust me, I tried.  I have a container of each in my fridge so I am ready for anything.  

Soy seems to be okay for everything else from my experience.  But, you might get a better answer from someone who can cook.

like Lisa said instant pudding won't set with soy milk - I use cook pudding and it works great. Lactaid will set instant pudding though. I buy the unsweetened silk soy milk and use it for just about everything but I do keep a quart of lactaid on hand just in case.

Hope that helps!

Yeah, I should have asked this yesterday. I am staring at runny pudding right now that I don't think I can bring myself to eat.........

Thanks for the info! I thought I was being good by making Protein Pudding only for it to look like baby food this morning!

Oh well........I tried!

awww! drink it - protein's still there! You poor thing - are you sure it isn't monday?!

I know....right? My day just isn't turning out! LOL.  But I keep laughing at myself and moving on. I am not going to let myself get in a crappy mood already!
