Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup Cool Whip Chilled for best texture
  • 1 cup instant pudding mix Any flavor, like vanilla, chocolate, or banana
  • 1 cup milk To combine ingredients into a smooth mixture
  • 1 splash vanilla extract Optional for additional flavor

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the instant pudding mix and milk. Whisk together until it starts to thicken, about 2 minutes.
  2. Add the Cool Whip to the mixture and fold gently to combine, which gives the frosting a fluffy texture.
  3. If desired, mix in a splash of vanilla extract for additional flavor.
  4. Once fully combined, spread it generously over your cooled cakes or cupcakes with a spatula or use a piping bag for a more elegant finish.
  5. Serve immediately or refrigerate for later use, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.

Notes

Store any leftover frosting in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For best texture, consume within 48 hours. Give it a light mix before reapplying if needed.
