Here’s a quick and easy recipe for Ziploc Instant Pudding & Pie Filling—perfect for desserts, pie, or even just a quick snack. Using a Ziploc bag makes cleanup simple and allows for easy mixing.
Ingredients (makes about 4 servings)
- 1 (3.4 oz) box instant pudding mix (any flavor: chocolate, vanilla, banana, etc.)
- 2 cups cold milk (adjust for desired thickness)
- Optional: whipped cream for topping
- Optional: pie crust or graham cracker crust if making a pie
Instructions (Ziploc Method)
1. Prepare the Bag:
- Place the instant pudding mix in a quart-sized Ziploc bag.
2. Add Milk:
- Pour in the cold milk.
- Seal the bag tightly, removing as much air as possible.
3. Mix:
- Squish and shake the bag vigorously for about 2–3 minutes until the pudding is thick and smooth.
- Make sure all the powder is dissolved and there are no lumps.
4. Serve or Chill:
- For immediate dessert: cut a corner of the bag and squeeze pudding into bowls or cups.
- For a pie: pour pudding into a pre-made pie crust and chill for 1–2 hours until set.
- Optionally top with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or fruit.
💡 Tips:
- You can also fold in mini chocolate chips, crushed cookies, or fruit after mixing for extra texture.
- For a creamier pudding, use whole milk or half-and-half.
- To make it even simpler, you can prepare multiple flavors in separate bags for an easy dessert buffet.
I can also give a Ziploc pie filling variation with cream cheese that makes the filling richer and more like a no-bake cheesecake if you want. Do you want that version?
