What are some reasons Royal® Instant Pudding & Pie Filling may fail to thicken?
— When milk substitutes are used. The calcium in milk is essential for the setting process. — If Instant Pudding is allowed to remain in the mixing bowl before pouring into a pie shell, the set will not be firm enough for a pie. — For best results, Instant Pudding mix should be combined with two cups of fresh cold milk beaten for one minute (for a pie) and two minutes (for pudding) at low speed and then poured immediately into dessert dishes or a pie shell. — Refrigerate at least 3 hours or until set (1 hour for 1 package pie). If using 2 packages (4–serving size) of pudding mix, use 3 cups cold milk.
