Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3.4 oz Instant pudding mix (vanilla or flavor of choice)
- 2 cups Cold milk
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the instant pudding mix and cold milk.
Using a whisk or an electric mixer, beat the mixture for about 2 minutes until it starts to thicken.
In a separate chilled mixing bowl, add the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract.
Use an electric mixer to whip the cream mixture on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. This usually takes about 3-4 minutes.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the pudding mixture using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix, as you want the icing to remain light and fluffy.
Once combined, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the icing to set.
Remove the icing from the refrigerator and give it a gentle stir before spreading it on your cake, cupcakes, or dessert of choice.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
