I've used Soy Milk before, but never tried Non-dairy creamers - any help?
What about other type of pudding?

Not saying it will taste great or be great for you, I think the soy milk, rice milk or almond milk would be more pleasant non-dairy choices, but I think it will work.
Non-dairy creamers are truly disgusting products. Read the ingredients. They're a horrid combination of sodium caseinate (chemically processed milk protein), artificial flavors, trans-fats, mono and diglycerides (gelatin), phosphoric acid, sodium alumionosilicate (anti-caking agent), corn syrup and stabilizers.
You might have found a better brand, or a vegetarian/vegan brand, but if you're using any of the standard grocery store brands, please don't. Try some almond milk instead.
Yes! I use So Delicious coconut milk creamer all the time for making rice pudding. You can also use canned coconut milk for a very delicious coconutty-tasting (although high-fat) rice pudding!
