Ingredients
Instructions
- Measure 1 1/2 cups of cold milk.
- Add the instant pudding mix to the milk.

- Place the thawed whipped topping into a small pitcher.
- Fold the prepared pudding into the whipped topping.
- Chill the mixture thoroughly before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For best results, use whole milk for a creamier texture, but you can substitute with almond or oat milk for a dairy-free option. Ensure your whipped topping is fully thawed to achieve a smooth consistency when folding. If using flavored pudding, keep in mind that some flavors may require additional sweetness, so taste and adjust accordingly.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this delightful pudding mixture in individual bowls or parfait glasses for an elegant touch. Garnish with fresh fruits, chocolate shavings, or nuts for added texture. It pairs beautifully with John'S Caramel Cake for a decadent dessert spread or can be enjoyed on its own as a light treat.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To maintain the best texture, avoid freezing, as the whipped topping can separate when thawed. Just give it a gentle stir before serving if it sits for a while.
