What it is
This is a dry pudding mix designed to create a rich chocolate dessert without added sugar.

To prepare, you typically combine the dry pudding mix with cold milk in a bowl. Whisk the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps. For best results, continue whisking for about two minutes. The pudding will thicken as it chills. It is best to refrigerate the prepared pudding for at least five minutes before serving to allow it to set properly. You can also use water or a dairy-free milk alternative for preparation, though this may slightly alter the final texture and flavor.
How it differs from similar foods
This sugar-free version differs from traditional pudding mixes by using artificial sweeteners instead of granulated sugar. The texture may also vary slightly compared to a sugar-sweetened version, often being a bit firmer.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a quick and easy dessert option that accommodates a low-sugar diet.
How to keep the rest
Store the unopened pudding mix in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Once prepared, any leftover pudding should be covered tightly and refrigerated. It is best consumed within a few days of preparation.
