Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3.4 oz Instant pudding mix (any flavor)
- 2 cups Heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for extra sweetness)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (optional, for added flavor)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the instant pudding mix and heavy whipping cream.
Using an electric mixer or stand mixer with a whisk attachment, start mixing on low speed to combine the ingredients.
Increase the speed to medium-high and beat the mixture for 2-3 minutes, until soft peaks form and the frosting is thick and creamy.
If desired, add powdered sugar for extra sweetness or vanilla extract for additional flavor. Mix briefly until well incorporated.
Taste the frosting and adjust sweetness or flavoring if needed.
Once the desired consistency is achieved, use the pudding frosting immediately to frost cakes, cupcakes, or other desserts.
Store any leftover frosting in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Re-whip briefly before using if it separates.
