To prepare the pudding, 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 best results, let the pudding chill in the refrigerator for at least five minutes before serving. This allows it to fully set and develop its characteristic smooth texture. It can be served plain or as a component in more elaborate desserts.
