To prepare the pudding, simply combine the contents of the package with the recommended amount of cold milk in a bowl. Whisk the mixture thoroughly until it thickens, which usually takes a few minutes. For best results, let the pudding chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the texture to fully set. It can be served plain or garnished with whipped cream, fruit, or sprinkles.
