Ingredients
- 1 box of instant pudding mix (any flavor)
- 1 cup of cold milk
- 1 container (8 oz) of whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the instant pudding mix and cold milk. Continue whisking for about 2 minutes or until it begins to thicken.
- Once the pudding has thickened, gently fold in the whipped topping. Mix until it’s fully combined and smooth.
- If the frosting is too thick, I can add a bit more milk to achieve the desired consistency. If it’s too runny, refrigerate the frosting for about 15-20 minutes to firm it up a bit before using.
- Spread the frosting onto your cakes, cupcakes, or desserts and enjoy!
Notes
- This frosting can be made with any flavor of instant pudding mix—chocolate, vanilla, banana, lemon, or even cheesecake.
- For an extra flavor boost, try adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract or mixing in melted chocolate.
- If you have leftover frosting, store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
