Gather Your Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make this delightful dessert:
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 cup milk (any kind works, but whole milk will give it a creamier texture)

If you’re looking for substitutions, you can easily use flavored Greek yogurt or non-dairy milk alternatives to meet dietary restrictions.
Step-by-Step Directions
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, milk, and instant pudding mix.
- Whisk all the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and creamy. This should take about 1-2 minutes of vigorous whisking.
- Set the mixture aside and allow it to fully set for about 5 minutes. This time allows the pudding mix to activate and gives you that perfect consistency.
- Once set, serve in dessert bowls topped with whipped cream, cool whip, or fresh fruit. Enjoy immediately!
Best Way to Serve
When it comes to serving this dessert, the possibilities are endless! You can elevate it by adding:
- A dollop of whipped cream or Cool Whip on top.

- A drizzle of honey or maple syrup for extra sweetness.
- Crushed nuts or granola for some crunch.
This dessert also pairs wonderfully with a cup of coffee or a light tea, making it an ideal finish for any meal.
Storage Tips
To keep your dessert fresh, store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. This dessert is best enjoyed within 2-3 days for optimal freshness and texture. Just be cautious not to let it sit out at room temperature for extended periods to prevent spoilage.

- Whisking Technique: For a perfectly creamy texture, be sure to whisk the mixture until no lumps remain. A hand mixer can also work wonders if you prefer.
- Make it Ahead: This dessert can also be made a day in advance. Just remember to keep it covered in the fridge!
- Chill Your Bowl: For an extra refreshing treat, chill your mixing bowl before preparing the dessert.
