FAQs

Can I use low-fat milk instead of full fat?

Yes, but the pudding may be less creamy. Full fat milk provides a richer texture and flavor.

How do I prevent lumps when mixing the jello?

Make sure to dissolve the jello powder completely in hot water and stir continuously until smooth. Allow it to cool slightly before pouring over other layers to avoid melting them.
