Preparation

Blend the pudding base
- Place all pudding-base ingredients into a high-speed blender. Blend for about 60 seconds until smooth and mousse-like.
Portion the pudding
- Divide the blended pudding evenly into four jars or containers. Smooth the tops slightly.
Make the topping
- In a small bowl, combine the topping ingredients. Whisk until smooth and slightly airy.
Top and finish

Chill
