Orange Pudding is the perfect blend of citrus flavor and creamy pudding. It is simple to make with a few ingredients and better than anything store bought.
It is so easy to make homemade pudding recipes and even busy moms can do this. My kids love oranges, so I wanted to try making an Orange Pudding. I make pudding all the time and it’s so much better than the pudding packs.
Last week, we made Lemon Pudding, Pumpkin Pudding and Oreo Pudding for a huge success. The kids are having the best time trying all these puddings.
It’s one of the Best Orange Desserts. We also love Orange Creamsicle Cake.

Pro Tips
- Gradually combine the eggs. Itโs very important to gradually add the warm mixture to the eggs before adding them into the saucepan. You want to avoid scrambling the eggs so make sure not to skip this step.
- Chill before serving. The pudding needs to fully set and it takes about 2 hours.
- Fresh orange zest is a must. Don’t skip the orange zest. It adds so much citrus flavor to this pudding.
