Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3.4 oz Instant vanilla pudding mix
- 2 cups Cold whole milk
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 2 tbsp Powdered sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, pour the instant vanilla pudding mix and cold milk.
Using a whisk or an electric hand mixer, beat the mixture on medium speed for about 2 minutes until it thickens slightly.
In a separate, large mixing bowl, pour the heavy whipping cream and add the powdered sugar.
Using an electric hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, whip the cream on high speed until stiff peaks form. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
If desired, add the vanilla extract to the whipped cream and gently mix it in.
Carefully fold the pudding mixture into the whipped cream. Use a spatula to gently combine them, ensuring not to deflate the whipped cream.
Chill the frosting in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before using to allow it to firm up.
Spread or pipe the Pudding Cream Frosting onto cakes, cupcakes, or other desserts as desired.
