If you're using a boxed mix that calls for milk, you can make the mix taste more homemade by subbing in another ingredient like evaporated milk or canned coconut milk. These substitutions will make the pudding even creamier.

To make pudding: Combine 2 cups of milk with ½ cup of the instant pudding mix in a medium saucepan over high heat, whisking constantly.

They are both made with pre-gelatinized starch. Pudding mixes are combined with milk resulting in a soft, creamy custard-like texture. Instant pudding mixes take only a few minutes to mix up, and then they are ready to eat, once set. Regular puddings are cooked and take longer to set.

If your almond milk-based instant pudding isn't setting properly for your pie, you can try these quick solutions: gently heat and stir the mixture on the stovetop, add a small amount of cornstarch or gelatin, mix in a bit more instant pudding mix, or let it set in the refrigerator for more time.

It typically contains milk or cream, although there are non-dairy puddings made with plant-based "milk." Pudding is similar to custard in that they both can contain eggs and milk, but pudding is usually thickened with a starch, whereas custard is thickened by the eggs.

Nuts: Chopped nuts, such as toasted almonds or pecans, can add a delightful crunch and a nutty flavor to your pudding. Whipped Cream: Top your pudding with a dollop of homemade or store-bought whipped cream. The light, airy texture and sweetness of whipped cream can balance the richness of the pudding.

Instant pudding mix contains modified cornstarch, which thickens mixtures without using heat. Heat is what activates regular cornstarch to thicken items like puddings, but also soups and sauces. Without heat, regular cornstarch in liquid just turns into a viscous sludge.
