Estimated Calories: 168
Ingredients
- 1 (4-serving) package instant pudding mix, any flavor you like (see Notes below)
- 1 cup cold whole milk
- 1 cup non-fat plain Greek yogurt
Instructions
- Place all of the ingredients in a large bowl and whisk until well combined and smooth, about 2 minutes.
- Divide the pudding mixture evenly among four 6-ounce ramekins or dessert cups.
- Let sit for 5 minutes to allow the pudding to fully set (you can either leave them out at room temperature or in the refrigerator during this time).If you won't be serving these immediately, cover them with plastic wrap and keep in the refrigerator until you are ready to serve.
- Enjoy as is, or add your favorite toppings and garnishes, such as a dollop of whipped cream.
Recipe Notes
- Most of the 4-serving packages of regular instant pudding (not sugar-free) are 3.4 ounces. You might find a few flavors where the package weighs slightly less or more, and that's ok. For the ones that weigh more, if you find that the pudding is too thick for your liking when stirring, you can add a little extra milk.
- If you want to use no-sugar instant pudding mix, the 4-serving packages are generally about 1 ounce, again with a few flavors being slightly less or more. Use just one 4-serving package for this recipe; the amount of milk and yogurt remain the same.
- Low-fat or skim milk can be used instead of whole milk, but the pudding will be thinner and less creamy. Important: Don't substitute non-dairy or plant-based milk, as the pudding will not set up correctly.
- I find that the pudding is plenty creamy using non-fat yogurt, but you can use low-fat or whole milk yogurt for extra creaminess.
- For a sweeter pudding, try using vanilla Greek yogurt (it has added sugar).
- Store pudding cups in the refrigerator, covered with plastic wrap, for up to 4 days.
