1 package (3.4 oz) instant pudding mix (vanilla or chocolate)
1 1/2 cups cold milk
1 container (8 oz) Cool Whip, thawed
1/2 cup powdered sugar (optional, for extra sweetness)
Instructions
Prepare Pudding: In a medium bowl, whisk together the instant pudding mix and cold milk until well combined. Let it sit for 2 minutes to thicken.
Fold in Cool Whip: Add the thawed Cool Whip to the pudding mixture and fold it in gently until fully combined and smooth. If you’d like it a little sweeter, add powdered sugar and mix until dissolved.
Chill: Let the frosting chill in the fridge for about 15–20 minutes to set and firm up.
Frost: Use the pudding Cool Whip frosting on cakes, cupcakes, or as a topping for pies and other desserts. Enjoy!
