To prepare, simply whisk the contents of the package with cold milk in a bowl. Continue whisking for about two minutes until the mixture begins to thicken. For a pie filling, pour the thickened pudding into a pre-baked pie crust. For individual servings, spoon the pudding into small bowls or ramekins. It can also be used as a layer in trifles or as a filling for cakes and pastries. The pudding will set further as it chills in the refrigerator.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike traditional cooked puddings that require simmering on the stove, this instant version sets rapidly upon mixing with milk. It offers a consistent flavor and texture that is predictable, whereas homemade puddings can vary depending on cooking time and ingredient ratios.
