Notes

*I used a 12.6” footed cake dome that can be used as a punch bowl. This used up all of the ingredients shown and the bowl was full. If you use a large bowl (435 ounces or more), you may need more ingredients. If you use a smaller bowl, you may have leftovers and you could make individual servings with the extra.

*Use instant cheesecake pudding or white chocolate pudding if you'd like to slightly change the flavor.
