Open the box of Jell-O chocolate instant pudding mix and tear open the inner package.

Pour the pudding mix into a bowl.

Add 2 cups of very cold milk to the bowl.

Start whisking the mixture with a whisk, focusing on small strokes to incorporate the powder.

Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl often to ensure everything is mixed in.

After about 1 minute of whisking, the mixture will still be loose; continue whisking.

After about 2 minutes of whisking, the mixture will have thickened up about double from where it started.

Continue whisking for another 30 seconds until you achieve the desired consistency.

Once whisking is complete, pop the mixture into the fridge to set.

Let the pudding soft set for about 5 minutes, or longer if you want a thicker pudding.

After about an hour in the fridge, the Jell-O chocolate pudding is ready to serve.
