Ingredients

For Vanilla Instant Pudding Mix:
2 cups granulated sugar
2 cups instant clear jel
1/2 teaspoon salt
For Chocolate Instant Pudding Mix:
2 cups granulated sugar
2 cups instant clear jel
2 cups dutch process cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
To Prepare Pudding:
2 cups of milk (Whole, 2%, 1% or Fat-free Cow's milk, Goat milk, Coconut, Soy, Almond or Rice milk.)
3/4 cup pudding mix
2 tablespoons pure vanilla extract (for the vanilla) or 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract (for the chocolate.)

Steps:

To Make Vanilla Instant Pudding Mix: Add the granulated sugar, instant clear jel, and salt to the carafe of a blender. Fix the lid firmly in place and blend on high for about 30 seconds, or until the ingredients are completely mixed and finely powdered. Let the contents rest about 5 minutes before transferring to canning jars or airtight containers with tight fitting lids. I use a spoon to transfer the mix to prevent powder going POUF in the air. To Make Chocolate Instant Pudding Mix: Add the granulated sugar, instant clear jel and salt to the carafe of a blender. Fix the lid firmly in place and blend on high for about 30 seconds, or until the ingredients are completely mixed and finely powdered. Let the contents rest about 5 minutes before removing the lid and adding the dutch process cocoa powder. Replace the lid tightly and blend on high for about 15 seconds, or until the mixture is a uniform colour. Let the contents rest about 5 minutes before transferring to canning jars or airtight containers with tight fitting lids. I use a spoon to transfer the mix to prevent powder going POUF in the air. Store the mix in the airtight containers in a cool, dark place for up to a year. A cabinet or basement shelf should work well. To Make Pudding from Either Mix: Pour 2 cups of cold milk into a mixing bowl and add the appropriate amount of vanilla extract. Sprinkle 3/4 of a cup of mix over the top and whisk in thoroughly until thickened. If you are having trouble with clumping, you can either pour the contents into a blender and blend on medium until smooth or use a stick blender to break up the lumps and smooth the mixture. It will be soft set immediately, but improves in flavour and texture if it is allowed to rest (with a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface) for at least 30 minutes. Notes If the pudding is too soft set, you can add extra pudding mix, 1 tablespoon at a time, until it thickens to your liking.
