Ingredients

Directions

  1. Ensure the light cream or half-and-half is very cold before starting.
  2. Pour the cold cream into a large mixing bowl.
  3. Sprinkle the instant pudding mix evenly over the surface of the cream.
  4. Using an electric mixer on low speed, beat the mixture until the pudding is fully incorporated and smooth, about 1 to 2 minutes.
  5. Let the pudding mixture stand for 5 minutes to allow it to thicken slightly.
  6. Gently fold in the Cool Whip or whipped topping until just combined, being careful not to deflate the air bubbles.
  7. Pour the mixture into a 2-quart freezer-safe container with a lid.
  8. Seal the container and place it in the freezer.
  9. Freeze until firm, approximately 6 hours or overnight.
  10. Let sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before scooping to soften slightly for serving.
