🍑 Creamy Peach Pudding

🍴 Serves: 4–6

⏱ Total Time: 15 minutes (plus chill time)

🧂 Ingredients:

• 2 cups sliced peaches (fresh, canned [drained], or thawed frozen)

• 1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix

• 1 1/2 cups cold milk

• 1/2 cup whipped topping (like Cool Whip) or sweetened whipped cream

• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

• Pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg (optional)

• Extra peaches or mint for garnish (optional)

👩‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Prepare the pudding:

   • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the instant pudding mix and cold milk for about 2 minutes until it thickens.

2. Fold in whipped topping:

   • Gently stir in the whipped topping to make the pudding extra light and creamy. Add vanilla extract or a dash of cinnamon for more flavor.

3. Add peaches:

   • Chop or dice the peaches if they’re in large slices.

   • Fold them into the pudding mixture, saving a few for garnish if desired.

4. Chill:

   • Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let it set and chill fully.

5. Serve:

   • Spoon into dessert cups or bowls. Top with more whipped cream, sliced peaches, and a sprinkle of cinnamon or crumbled cookies (like vanilla wafers or graham crackers).

📝 Tips & Variations:

• Fresh peach tip: Peel peaches easily by blanching them in boiling water for 30 seconds, then dunking in ice water.

• No Cool Whip? Use 1/2 cup freshly whipped cream (sweetened).

• Make it layered: Alternate pudding and crushed vanilla wafers in a trifle dish or jar for a parfait-style dessert.

• Want it healthier? Use sugar-free pudding and light whipped topping.
