Original commissary-inspired pantry recipe

Sweetened orange drink powder gives vanilla pudding an orange-cream flavor with a very small addition. Adding it gradually keeps the result from becoming excessively tart or grainy.

Place & evidence: Across the country. This is an original pantry recipe. The source supplies ingredient or technique context, rather than evidence that this exact dish is served in a prison. Inventory and place labels describe that context only. FCI / SCP La Tuna Commissary Sheet.

Make it

Equipment: Clean food-safe bowl or cup; spoon; measuring cup and spoons; a clean suitable utensil for any chopping.

Ingredients

2 ready-to-eat vanilla pudding cups, 3.25 oz each
2 tsp sweetened orange drink powder
1 tsp water
8 vanilla wafers

Method

Stir sweetened orange drink powder with the measured teaspoon of water to make a smooth concentrated paste or syrup.
Work in a spoonful of pudding to loosen it, then fold this mixture through the rest of the pudding.
Scrape the bottom to check for powder pockets and divide among four small cups. Taste the finished mixture before changing the seasoning.
Crush wafers coarsely and add them immediately before serving. Refrigerate promptly if delaying service.

The useful detail

Use sweetened drink mix as listed. An unsweetened concentrate is not an equal-quantity substitute; start with its own label directions instead.

When the store is different

Use a sweetened strawberry drink mix for a different flavor.

Serving & handling

Mix moist ingredients close to serving. Keep opened or mixed perishables refrigerated if they are not being eaten promptly. Read the pantry and food-handling guide for storage limits, package directions and allergen checks.
