How to Make Deliciously Easy Pudding In A Cloud

Divide the thawed whipped topping evenly among 6 dessert glasses, using approximately 1/3 cup (about 2 oz) in each.
Gently create a well in the center of each whipped topping layer using the back of a spoon. Spread some of the whipped topping up the sides of the glass for a cloud-like effect.
In a separate bowl, prepare the pudding mix according to the package directions, using 1 1/2 cups of milk.
Spoon the prepared pudding mixture into the wells you created in the whipped topping, filling each glass almost to the top.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the pudding to set and the flavors to meld.
Garnish each dessert glass as desired with chocolate shavings, sprinkles, fresh fruit, or extra whipped cream.
