Notes

Note: For all pudding mixes, I do not recommend using almond milk as it will not thicken properly with instant puddings. When using dairy-free milks, a hand mixer is essential to ensure the pudding thickens properly. If the pudding doesn’t thicken as desired, you can make a cornstarch slurry by combining 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water and mixing it in.
