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
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the instant pudding mix and cold milk together for 1–2 minutes until smooth and slightly thickened.
- Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes to thicken fully.
- Gently fold in the thawed Cool Whip until fully combined and smooth. If using vanilla extract, stir it in now.
- 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).
