Recipe Information
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
Instructions
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.
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.
Transfer the whipped mixture into a freezer-safe, airtight container. Smooth out the top with a spatula to ensure even freezing.
Cover the container tightly with a lid or plastic wrap to prevent ice crystals from forming.
Place the container in the freezer and let the ice cream freeze for at least 4–6 hours, or overnight for best results.
Scoop and serve the pudding ice cream as is, or top with your favorite toppings like chocolate chips, fruit, or sprinkles.
