Homemade No-Cook Instant Pudding Mix

• FOR THE VANILLA INSTANT PUDDING MIX:
• 2 cups Granulated Sugar
• 2 cups Instant Clear Jel
• 1/2 teaspoons Salt
• FOR THE CHOCOLATE INSTANT PUDDING MIX:
• 2 cups Granulated Sugar
• 2 cups Instant Clear Jel
• 2 cups Dutch Process Cocoa Powder
• 1/2 teaspoons Salt
• FOR MAKING PUDDING FROM THE MIX:
• 2 cups Cold Milk (Whole, 2%, 1% Or Skim Cow Or Goat Milk, Coconut, Soy, Rice Or Almond Milk.)
• 3/4 cups Pudding Mix
• 2 Tablespoons Pure Vanilla Extract For The Vanilla Pudding
• 2 teaspoons Pure Vanilla Extract For The Chocolate Pudding

1. For the vanilla instant pudding mix:
2. 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.
3. For the chocolate instant pudding mix:
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. To make pudding from either mix:
7. Pour 2 cups of cold milk into a mixing bowl and add the appropriate amount of vanilla extract. Sprinkle 3/4 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.
8. Note: If the pudding is too soft set, you can add extra pudding mix, 1 tablespoon at a time, until it thickens to your liking.
