Ingredients
- 1 package instant vanilla pudding mix (3.4 oz)
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 8 oz container Cool Whip (thawed)
How To Make Cool Whip and Pudding Frosting
- A large mixing bowl, combine the instant vanilla pudding mix, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Using an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat the mixture for about 2 minutes, until smooth and creamy.
- Once the pudding mixture is well combined, add in the thawed Cool Whip. Beat on medium speed until the Cool Whip is fully incorporated into the pudding mixture, creating a light and fluffy frosting.
- Your frosting is now ready to use! Spread it generously over cakes or cupcakes, or use it as a dip for fresh fruit. If you’re not using the frosting right away, transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate until you’re ready to indulge.
- Remember to store any leftover desserts frosted with this mixture in the refrigerator due to the Cool Whip content.
Notes
- This Cool Whip and Pudding Frosting is incredibly versatile and can be used to top a variety of desserts. Spread it over cakes, cupcakes, or even brownies for a deliciously creamy finish.
- Get creative and use it as a dip for fresh fruit like strawberries, bananas, or pineapple chunks. The combination of creamy frosting and juicy fruit is simply irresistible.
- For an extra special touch, sprinkle some chocolate shavings, chopped nuts, or colorful sprinkles on top of the frosting before serving.
