INSTRUCTIONS:
- Mix the pudding powder with the cold milk for 2 minutes in a mixing bowl until you feel the mixture beginning to thicken.
- Mix the yogurt carefully into the batter so it becomes smooth. Next, add the whipped topping to the mixture and use a spatula to mix it so it becomes light and fluffy.
