Easy Indian Pudding

I have made Indian Pudding for years.  It is one of my favorite Thanksgiving desserts and has become a specialty of mine that family and friends request often.  But, my favorite recipe for it is quite involved.  I have created a much easier recipe that nearly gets the same results and I wanted to share it.
