Notes
💡 Pro Tips Use full-fat milk for the best consistency—non-dairy milk may not set as well. Chill your bowl and beaters before mixing for extra fluffiness. Make it colorful by matching pudding flavors with sprinkles or fruit toppings. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days—great as a dip or dessert cup filling too!
