I’m not sure which flavor you are looking at, but most varieties of Jell-o Instant Pudding are dairy-free and contain no milk protein concentrate. We are a dairy-free website and would never recommend something that contained milk protein concentrate. There are a few flavors of Jell-O brand that contain dairy, but just a few. They have dozens of others. There are also some other dairy-free brands, but not all are. As always, read the ingredients.
You can see the ingredients of many flavors here on Target -> https://www.target.com/s?searchTerm=jell-o+instant+pudding
I tried it this weekend with coconut milk and it never set. 🙁 It specifically says on the box that it wont work with soy milk.
Did I do something wrong? I was really hoping to make those “dirt” cups for Halloween.
Hi Claire, the recipe here works. You can’t sub coconut milk beverage. Just 1 cup of soymilk. The box says it won’t work with soymilk because it won’t work if you use the full amount of soymilk. This recipe uses less. I do have better versions though and a full explanation how it works in Go Dairy Free the book 🙂
where do you find instant pudding mixes that are dairy free ?????
Most flavors of Jell-O instant pudding are dairy-free (select ones are not). There are also brands like Dr. Oetker.
