- Gradually add the entire contents of the instant pudding mix to the almond milk

- Let the pudding rest for 3-5 minutes to achieve final setting and optimal texture
- Serve chilled, optionally garnishing with fresh berries, sliced almonds, or a light dusting of cocoa powder
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Always use cold almond milk for the best pudding consistency. Chilled milk helps the pudding set faster and more smoothly.
- Whisk with Purpose: Don't be shy with your whisking! Vigorous mixing prevents lumps and ensures a perfectly smooth texture.
- Timing is Key: Mix for exactly 2 minutes, then let it rest for 3-5 minutes. This allows the pudding to set to its ideal creamy consistency.
- Get Creative with Toppings: While delicious on its own, try garnishing with fresh berries, sliced almonds, or a sprinkle of cocoa powder to elevate your dessert.
- Choose Your Flavor: Experiment with different instant pudding mix flavors to keep things interesting. Chocolate, vanilla, and butterscotch all work wonderfully with almond milk.Pro Tip: If you prefer an even firmer pudding, refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving for an extra-thick treat!
