  • 2 packages instant vanilla pudding mix 3.4 oz each
  • 4 cups cold milk

  • 1 can chocolate frosting or ganache
  • Chocolate shavings or fresh berries for garnish optional

Method
 

  1. Whisk pudding mix with cold milk until thickened.
  2. Fold in whipped topping gently until smooth and fluffy.
