Step-by-Step Instructions
Let’s dive into making this delightful treat! First, in a large mixing bowl, combine the instant vanilla pudding mix and cold milk. Whisk them together until the mixture thickens, which usually takes about two minutes. Once it reaches that creamy consistency, set it aside and let it chill while you prepare the whipped cream. To make the whipped cream, pour the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract into another bowl. Using an electric mixer, whip it until soft peaks form. Trust me; the smell of freshly whipped cream is absolutely heavenly! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
