A dreamy, fluffy frosting made with instant pudding and Cool Whip—perfectly sweet, light, and easy to whip up for cakes, cupcakes, and more.

Ingredients

  • Instant Vanilla Pudding Mix: 3.4 oz box – gives structure and flavor without needing heat.
  • Cold Milk: 1 cup – helps dissolve the pudding and gives it a smooth texture.
  • Cool Whip Topping: 8 oz tub, thawed – creates a fluffy and creamy consistency.
  • Powdered Sugar: 2 tablespoons – adds extra sweetness and a touch of stability.
  • Vanilla Extract: 1 teaspoon – enhances the overall flavor with warm aroma.

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Equipment: Chill your mixing bowl and spatula in the freezer for 5–10 minutes.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In the chilled bowl, whisk together the instant pudding mix and cold milk until smooth and thickened (about 2 minutes).
  3. Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Ensure your mixing area is clean and ready.
  4. Assemble the Dish: Gently fold the thawed Cool Whip into the pudding mix using a spatula.
  5. Cook to Perfection: Let the mixture rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to firm up.
  6. Finishing Touches: Stir in vanilla extract and powdered sugar until smooth.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Use immediately to frost desserts or store in the fridge for later.

Notes

  • Always use instant pudding, not cook-and-serve.
  • For a dairy-free version, use plant-based milk and topping.
  • Thaw Cool Whip in the fridge, never the microwave.
