Ingredients
- 3.4 oz Instant pudding mix (vanilla or your preferred flavor)
- 2 cups Heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup Milk
- 2 tbsp Sugar (optional, depending on sweetness)
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the instant pudding mix and milk. Whisk for 2–3 minutes until the mixture is smooth and begins to thicken.
Step 2
Add the heavy whipping cream, sugar (if using), and vanilla extract to the bowl. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to whip the mixture on medium speed for 3–5 minutes, until it becomes light and fluffy.
Step 3
Transfer the whipped mixture into a freezer-safe, airtight container. Smooth out the top with a spatula to ensure even freezing.
Step 4
Cover the container tightly with a lid or plastic wrap to prevent ice crystals from forming.
Step 5
Place the container in the freezer and let the ice cream freeze for at least 4–6 hours, or overnight for best results.
Step 6
Scoop and serve the pudding ice cream as is, or top with your favorite toppings like chocolate chips, fruit, or sprinkles.
