Mix pudding powder and sugar: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chocolate flavor instant pudding and pie filling mix with the granulated sugar. Stir until well mixed, ensuring there are no lumps in the mixture.

This typically takes about 20 minutes, but may vary depending on the model of your machine. Be sure to check the consistency periodically until it reaches a thick and creamy texture.
-
Pack and freeze: Once the ice cream has reached the desired consistency, transfer it into a freezer-safe container. Pack the ice cream tightly to remove any air pockets, cover the container tightly with a lid or plastic wrap to prevent freezer burn, and place it in the freezer.
