Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz Cool Whip (thawed)
- 3.4 oz Instant pudding mix (chocolate or vanilla)
- 1.25 cups Milk (cold)
- 2 tbsp Powdered sugar (optional, for added sweetness)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the instant pudding mix and cold milk.
Whisk the mixture for about 2 minutes until it begins to thicken slightly.
Gently fold in the Cool Whip using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix to preserve the fluffy texture.
If you'd like the frosting to be sweeter, sift in powdered sugar and gently fold until it’s fully incorporated.
Refrigerate the frosting for at least 30 minutes to allow it to firm up.
Once chilled, spread the frosting over your cake, cupcakes, or dessert using an offset spatula or piping bag.
Store any leftover frosting in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
