Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box yellow cake mix (15.25 oz)
  • 1 package instant vanilla pudding mix (3.4 oz)
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1 cup whipped topping (non-dairy or regular)
  • 2 cups fresh fruit (strawberries, blueberries, or bananas)
  • ½ cup chopped nuts (optional)

Instructions

  7. Chill in the fridge for at least two hours before serving.

Notes

  • Use seasonal fruits for maximum freshness and flavor.

  •  Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for better blending.
