If using, fold in your optional mix-ins such as chocolate chips, crushed cookies, or fruit pieces.
Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically 20–25 minutes, until the ice cream reaches a soft-serve consistency.
Transfer the churned ice cream into a freezer-safe container, smooth the top with a spatula, and cover tightly with a lid or plastic wrap.
Freeze the ice cream for at least 4 hours or until firm before serving.
Scoop into bowls or cones and enjoy your homemade pudding ice cream!
