Ingredients:

  • 1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 1 cup cold whole milk
  • 1 tub (8 oz) Cool Whip, thawed
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

Instructions:

  1. In a large glass mixing bowl, combine the instant vanilla pudding mix and the cold whole milk. Whisk vigorously for 2 minutes until a thick, slightly grainy slurry forms.
  2. Allow the mixture to rest for 2 minutes to allow the modified starches to fully hydrate and set.
  3. Stir in the pure vanilla extract until the mixture resembles a smooth custard.
  4. Gently fold in the thawed Cool Whip using a silicone spatula. Use a 'cut and fold' motion, rotating the bowl until no white streaks remain, ensuring the aerated structure is maintained.
