Jello Pudding Is the Secret

Instant chocolate pudding is the secret to making this ice cream recipe turn out great time after time. I personally prefer Jello brand instant pudding for this recipe. Also, if you don’t care for chocolate you could make this recipe with Jello vanilla instant pudding. I think it would turn out just fine.
