Pudding Cool Whip Frosting

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 box (3.4 oz) instant pudding mix (any flavor – vanilla, chocolate, or cheesecake work great)
  • 1 cup cold milk
  • 1 tub (8 oz) Cool Whip (thawed)
  • Optional: 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (for extra flavor)

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the instant pudding mix and cold milk together for 1–2 minutes until smooth and slightly thickened.
  2. Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes to thicken fully.
  3. Gently fold in the thawed Cool Whip until fully combined and smooth. If using vanilla extract, stir it in now.
  4. Use immediately to frost cakes, cupcakes, or cookies. Or refrigerate until ready to use.

✨ Tips:

  • For a firmer frosting, chill it for 30 minutes before using.
  • Try different pudding flavors to match your dessert theme (e.g., chocolate for devil’s food cake, cheesecake for fruit-topped cakes).
