Frosting can make or break a dessert, and using Cool Whip combined with pudding mix has become a popular, easy way to create a deliciously fluffy and light frosting. This mix not only offers a delightful texture but also simplifies the frosting process, making it accessible for beginners and quick to prepare. The combination of Cool Whip and pudding creates a smooth, creamy topping that’s ideal for cakes, cupcakes, and more.
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 8 oz container Cool Whip (thawed)
- 1 package instant vanilla pudding mix (3.4 oz)
Directions:
1. Mix the Pudding Base
- In 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 it becomes smooth and creamy.
2. Incorporate the Cool Whip
- Once the pudding mixture is well combined, add the thawed Cool Whip.
- Beat on medium speed until the Cool Whip is fully incorporated, creating a light and fluffy frosting.
3. Ready to Use
- Your Cool Whip and Pudding Frosting is now ready to use! Spread it generously over cakes, cupcakes, or brownies. It also makes a delicious fruit dip for strawberries, bananas, or pineapple.
4. Refrigerate if Needed
- If you’re not using the frosting immediately, transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate. Desserts topped with this frosting should also be stored in the refrigerator due to the Cool Whip content.
Tips for Achieving Smooth, Fluffy Frosting
- Chill the frosting in the refrigerator for about 10–15 minutes before spreading. This helps it set, making it easier to apply to your dessert.
- Fold, don’t stir vigorously when combining Cool Whip and pudding to keep the frosting light and airy.
- For additional flavor, try adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a hint of lemon zest for a citrus kick.
