👨🍳 Directions:
1. Whisk pudding base: In a large mixing bowl, whisk vanilla pudding mix with cold milk for 2 minutes until slightly thick.
2. Lighten: Fold in thawed whipped topping until smooth and airy.
3. Flavor & fluff: Gently swirl in strawberry jam (or gelatin powder) until streaks disappear. Fold in mini marshmallows.
4. Add the pop: Just before serving, sprinkle in 3 packets of Pop Rocks and fold quickly but lightly—this keeps as much fizz as possible.
5. Serve: Spoon fluff into a trifle dish or individual cups. Scatter remaining Pop Rocks over the top and, if desired, garnish with fresh berries. Enjoy immediately for maximum crackle.
