Ingredients
Instructions

- Beat the mixture until smooth.
- Add Cool Whip to the mixture and fold in gently.
- Mix in the remaining milk and NutraSweet.
- Refrigerate until chilled and serve.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider using whole milk instead of a lower-fat option. If you prefer a different sweetener, erythritol or stevia can be good alternatives to NutraSweet. Ensure the pudding mix is fully dissolved to avoid lumps, and consider adding a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor. Serve it chilled for the best taste and texture.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this sugar-free boiled custard as a light dessert or a topping for fresh fruits like berries or sliced bananas. It also pairs beautifully with Frozen Cranberry Salad(A Country Thanksgiving At The Lamars) for a festive twist. Consider garnishing with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a dollop of sugar-free whipped cream for added flavor.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If the custard thickens too much after chilling, simply whisk in a bit of milk to return it to a smoother consistency. Avoid freezing, as it can alter the texture of the custard.
