The ingredients for most Jell-O brand instant puddings are dairy-free. By using a non-dairy milk such as almond milk you keep this simple instant pudding dairy-free and even vegan.

Thank you for the idea. We have tried and had the soupy results as well. Reducing the amount of almond milk as you suggested didn't work for us, but it was worth a try. I saw ideas below about trying a blender or mixer to whip at higher speed and might try sometime.

Thank you SO MUCH for the recipes, Lindsey! I count calories and almond milk saves a lot of calories. It's too bad the manufacturers don't tell us the options. Thanks again!!

It's so simple - agreed! I'm surprised they haven't started putting the instructions for non-dairy milk on the boxes.
