To prepare, simply combine the contents of the package with the specified amount of cold milk in a bowl. Whisk vigorously for about two minutes until the mixture thickens and becomes smooth. For a pie filling, pour the thickened pudding into a pre-baked pie crust. It will continue to set as it chills. You can also use it as a base for layered desserts or as a simple topping for fruit.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike cooked puddings that require stovetop preparation and careful temperature control, this instant version sets without heat. Its texture is typically smooth and creamy, and it achieves its set consistency through the activation of its starches when mixed with liquid.
