Instructions

1. Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. Prepare Pan: Spray a 9×13-inch baking pan with cooking spray and set it aside.

3. Prepare Pudding: In a mixing bowl, prepare the sugar-free instant vanilla pudding mix according to the directions on the package. Allow the pudding to set up.
