Notes

  • You can use vanilla pudding mix or strawberry pudding mix. I thought using strawberry pudding mix might be a bit overkill, so I stuck with vanilla. 
  • I recommend using whole milk but you can use whatever milk you have on hand and it'll still turn out.
  • Of course I recommend making your own homemade whipped cream, but if you don't have the time the store bought stuff will do.
