If you’re looking for a quick and easy frosting that’s both creamy and delicious, Cool Whip and Pudding Frosting is the perfect solution. This simple yet decadent frosting is perfect for cakes, cupcakes, pies, and even as a topping for fruit. With just a few ingredients, this frosting comes together in minutes and provides a smooth, creamy texture that’s irresistible.

Ingredients:

  • 1 package (3.4 oz) instant pudding mix (vanilla, chocolate, or any flavor of your choice)
  • 1 container (8 oz) Cool Whip (thawed)
  • 1 cup milk (you can use whole milk, skim, or any milk alternative)
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for added flavor)

Directions:

  1. Prepare the Pudding: In a medium bowl, whisk together the instant pudding mix and milk until it begins to thicken, about 2 minutes. If you want a richer flavor, you can use half-and-half or heavy cream instead of milk. Let the pudding sit for 5 minutes to ensure it thickens properly.
  2. Mix with Cool Whip: Once the pudding has set, fold in the Cool Whip. Gently stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined. The Cool Whip will lighten the texture of the pudding, giving it a fluffy and creamy consistency.
  3. Flavor It (Optional): If you’d like to add a little extra flavor, stir in vanilla extract or any other flavoring you prefer. For example, almond extract, lemon zest, or a splash of coffee extract can all make unique variations of this frosting.
  4. Chill (Optional): If you have time, let the frosting chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before using it. This will make it easier to spread and help it firm up a little bit.
  5. Frost Your Dessert: Once your frosting is ready, simply spread it on your cakes, cupcakes, or desserts. The frosting is light and fluffy, making it easy to pipe or spread smoothly over any baked goods.
