Note
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
For a richer texture, you can use half-and-half instead of milk.
Ensure the Cool Whip is fully thawed before folding it into the pudding to maintain a light, airy consistency.
You can substitute vanilla wafers with digestive biscuits or graham crackers for a different flavor profile.
These are best served chilled to allow the pudding to set properly.
