Whipped Pudding Frosting

Ingredients

• 1 box (3.4 oz) instant pudding mix (any flavor you like)
• 2 cups cold milk
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar (optional, for extra sweetness)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the instant pudding mix with the cold milk. Whisk for 1-2 minutes until slightly thickened.
2. In a separate bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream with an electric mixer on high speed until soft peaks form.
3. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the whipped cream (if using) and continue beating until stiff peaks form.
4. Gently fold the whipped cream into the prepared pudding mixture until fully combined and fluffy.
5. Use immediately to frost cakes, cupcakes, or desserts, or refrigerate until ready to use.

Tip:
For a lighter texture, use less pudding mix; for a thicker frosting, chill for 15–20 minutes before spreading.

If you want, I can also give you flavor variations so you can make chocolate, lemon, or even cookies-and-cream versions of this frosting.
