Note

If you cannot find Dream whip, you can substitute with a non-dairy creamer powder or a small amount of coconut cream powder for a similar texture.

For a fruitier variation, substitute half of the orange juice with pureed strawberries or peaches, as suggested by traditional variations.

Serve immediately after blending to enjoy the best frothy texture. The drink will separate if left to sit.

Ensure the pudding mix is non-instant, as instant varieties may not blend as smoothly into the ice without clumping.
