Ingredients
1 box (3.9 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix
1 tub (8 oz) whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
2 cups mini marshmallows
½ cup chopped almonds or walnuts
½ cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
½ cup drained crushed pineapple (optional)
¼ cup shredded coconut (optional)
Splash of milk (only if your pudding mix calls for it)
Instructions
In a large bowl, mix the dry chocolate pudding with milk (if needed).
Fold in the whipped topping slowly until fully combined.
Stir in marshmallows, nuts, chocolate chips, and any other extras.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill for at least 1 hour.
Scoop into bowls or cups to serve. Add extra toppings if desired.
Notes
Don’t overmix—it stays fluffier with gentle folding.
For a firmer texture, use less whipped topping.
Use sugar-free pudding and low-fat whipped topping for a lighter version.
Best served cold; keep refrigerated and enjoy within 3 days.
Not freezer-friendly (texture changes after thawing).
