Dessert Mix

The McNess Pudding and Pie Mixes were first introduced in 1919. For years they were staples in kitchen pantries across the country. The taste was so delicious that restaurants would use the same mixes to create their pies. After an absence of almost twenty years and after many, many customer requests, we’ve brought the dessert mixes back. These are not instant mixes. They are cooked over the stove the old-fashioned way. You need to add your own sugar (or sugar substitute) to the mix. For pies, we recommend adding butter and egg yolks to create a richer base. (See recipe on the side of carton.) Cocoanut Dessert Mix The Cocoanut Dessert uses the old-fashioned spelling, like you would have seen it if you were alive in the 1920s when it was first introduced. We use real coconut flakes in the mix. Makes four 9” pies or 24 servings of pudding. Ingredients: Ingredients: Corn Starch, Desiccated Coconut, Dextrose, Coconut Milk Powder (coconut milk, maltodextrin, sodium caseinate), Natural Flavor, Salt, Bright Yellow Food Color. Contains Dairy, Tree Nut (Coconut) Lemon Dessert Mix The original formula from earlier years famously had a lemon oil capsule that was added to the mix during cooking. However, we were unable to duplicate this process in a reasonable manner, so we decided the best solution was to add pure lemon oil right into the mix! As soon as you open the can you can smell the lemon! And of course, that natural flavoring can’t be beat. Adjust the sugar as desired. Makes four 9” pies or 24 servings of pudding. Ingredients: Corn Starch, Dextrose, Citric Acid, Salt, Lemon Oil, Bright Yellow Food Color. Chocolate Dessert Mix We varied ever so slightly in the chocolate mix from the original formula by making it extra chocolatey by adding three different cocoas to the mix. Mmmmmm! Makes four 9” pies or 24 servings of pudding. Ingredients: Corn Starch, Arrowroot Powder, Alkalized Cocoa Powder, Dextrose, Natural Cocoa Powder, Black Cocoa Powder, Natural Flavor, Salt.
