This may be my very favorite overall dessert recipe. It’s so easy and so quick to pull together, even at the last minute. It’s almost always what I make when guests are coming over, because it’s always a hit. You can fancy it up or leave it plain, and it’s always delicious. It takes next to no effort at all to change up the flavor by simply using a different pudding mix and different mix-ins and toppings. This is absolutely my go-to recipe whether I’m in a pinch or if I have all day to prepare!
Ingredients

- 1 1/4 cup skim milk
- 1 - 8 oz cool whip
Instructions
