Ingredients You’ll Need
- 1 package (3.4 oz / 96 g) instant pudding mix
(vanilla is classic, but chocolate, cheesecake, or butterscotch work great too) - 1 cup cold milk
- 1 container (8 oz / 225 g) Cool Whip, thawed
That’s it—just three simple ingredients!
Step-by-Step Method
Step 1: Prepare the Pudding Base
In a medium mixing bowl, pour in the instant pudding mix and cold milk. Using a whisk or spoon, stir well for about 1–2 minutes until the mixture begins to thicken.
Tip: Make sure the milk is cold—this helps the pudding set properly.
Step 2: Let the Pudding Thicken
Allow the pudding to sit for 2–3 minutes. It should be thick but still smooth and creamy, not fully set like a finished pudding cup.
