Description

Cool Whip & Pudding Frosting – Light, fluffy, and sweet with just 3 ingredients! This creamy vanilla topping is perfect for cakes, cupcakes, or cookies—ready in minutes, no baking needed

Ingredients

Scale

  • 8 ounces (227 grams) Cool Whip, thawed

  • 1 (3.4 ounce) box instant vanilla pudding mix

  • ½ cup (120 ml) milk

Instructions

1. Combine the Cool Whip and Pudding Mix

  • In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the thawed Cool Whip and dry instant vanilla pudding mix.

  • Use a whisk or electric mixer on low speed to begin blending.

2. Slowly Add the Milk

  • Gradually pour in the milk, continuing to mix.

  • Whisk or mix until the frosting becomes smooth, creamy, and lump-free.

  • The mixture will thicken as the pudding activates.

3. Optional – Chill the Frosting

  • For best results, refrigerate the frosting for at least 30 minutes.

  • This allows the pudding to fully set and the flavors to meld, resulting in a firmer texture ideal for piping or spreading.

4. Frost and Serve

  • Use immediately or after chilling to frost your favorite desserts:

    • Cakes

    • Cupcakes

    • Poke cakes

    • Whoopie pies

    • Dessert cups or parfaits

Notes

  • This Cool Whip and pudding frosting is perfect for warm-weather desserts where butter-based frostings can melt.

  • Using instant pudding stabilizes the frosting naturally, eliminating the need for gelatin or stabilizers.

  • Perfect for both beginner and seasoned bakers.
