Scale
Pudding Mixture:
- 1 package (3.9 ounces) instant chocolate pudding mix
- 2 cups cold milk
- 1 container (8 ounces) whipped topping, thawed

Instructions
- Prepare Pudding Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk the pudding mix with the cold milk for 2 minutes until it begins to set. Fold in the whipped topping until smooth and creamy.
