To prepare, simply combine the contents of the package with cold milk in a bowl. Whisk vigorously for about two minutes until the mixture thickens and becomes smooth. The pudding will continue to set as it chills. For best results, allow it to rest in the refrigerator for at least five minutes before serving. This instant mix eliminates the cooking and tempering steps typically required for traditional pudding, making it ideal for last-minute sweet treats or when time is limited.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike cooked puddings that require careful heating and stirring to achieve the right consistency, this instant mix sets simply by combining with cold liquid. The flavor is derived from a blend of natural and artificial vanilla, with visible specks from vanilla beans, offering a distinct taste and appearance.

How to keep the rest
After preparing the pudding, store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It is best consumed within 24 to 48 hours for optimal freshness and texture. Unprepared mix should be kept in a cool, dry place away from moisture.
