Description
Cool Whip and Pudding Frosting is a light, fluffy, and creamy frosting made with just a few ingredients. It’s a perfect topping for cakes, cupcakes, and layered desserts, offering a smooth texture and delicious flavor without the heaviness of traditional buttercream.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package (3.4 oz) instant pudding mix (any flavor)
- 1 cup cold milk
- 1 container (8 oz) Cool Whip, thawed
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the instant pudding mix and cold milk until smooth and slightly thickened (about 2 minutes).
- Let the pudding sit for 5 minutes to firm up slightly.
- Gently fold in the Cool Whip until fully combined and fluffy.
- Use immediately to frost cakes or cupcakes, or refrigerate until ready to use.
Notes
- Use different pudding flavors (chocolate, vanilla, lemon, etc.) to match your dessert.
- Can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days—great for make-ahead desserts.
- For a stiffer frosting, reduce milk slightly or add 1–2 tablespoons of powdered sugar.
