Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, I first prepare my chocolate pudding as per the instructions on the box or make my favorite homemade version. Once that’s done, I let it cool slightly while I move on to the whipped cream. In a separate bowl, I combine the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Using an electric mixer, I whip the cream until soft peaks form, which usually takes just a few minutes. The smell of sweet vanilla wafting through my kitchen makes all the work worthwhile! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
