You can add different flavors, toppings, and even fruits to make it more exciting. In this recipe, we'll show you how to make whipped pudding that's not only tasty but also healthy.
Ingredients
To make whipped pudding, you'll need the following ingredients:
1 cup of skim milk
1 package of instant pudding mix (any flavor you like)
1 cup of fat-free whipped topping
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Pudding
Start by preparing the instant pudding mix according to the package instructions. Typically, you'll need to whisk the pudding mix into a cup of skim milk until it thickens. Make sure to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl to ensure that all the pudding mix is incorporated.
Step 2: Add Whipped Topping
Once the pudding has thickened, add a cup of fat-free whipped topping. Fold the whipped topping into the pudding mixture until it's fully combined. Make sure not to overmix, or the whipped topping will lose its light, airy texture.
Step 3: Chill
Place the whipped pudding mixture in the refrigerator to chill for at least an hour. This will allow the pudding to set and thicken even more.
Step 4: Serve
Once the pudding has chilled, it's ready to serve. You can serve it in individual cups or bowls, topped with fresh fruit, nuts, or chocolate chips.
