To prepare, simply combine the contents of this package with 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 mixture into a pre-baked pie crust. For pudding, divide it into individual serving dishes. It can also be used as a layer in cakes or trifles. Chill for at least one hour before serving to allow it to set fully.

How to keep the rest
After preparing the pudding or pie filling, store any unused portion in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It is best consumed within 24 to 48 hours for optimal texture and flavor. Ensure it is covered to prevent a skin from forming on the surface.
