Which size box of instant pudding was used for this recipe? I’m really surprised no one has asked. Thank you!

Have you tried mixing the fruit pieces with the cheesecake dip and filling it like that? This is for a four-year-old birthday party and I think it would be easier for them to eat if everything was mixed together. Thank you!
