Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix (any flavor works)
- 1 cup cold milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tub (8 oz) Cool Whip (whipped topping), thawed
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional for extra sweetness)
Instructions
- Prepare the Pudding: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the instant pudding mix and cold milk for about 2 minutes, or until it starts to thicken.
- Add Vanilla: Stir in the vanilla extract to enhance the flavor.
- Fold in the Cool Whip: Gently fold the thawed Cool Whip into the pudding mixture. Be careful not to over-mix, as you want to keep the frosting light and fluffy.
- Sweeten (Optional): If you prefer a sweeter frosting, sift in the powdered sugar and fold gently until well combined.
- Chill the Frosting: Refrigerate the frosting for at least 30 minutes to allow it to set and firm up.
- Frost Your Dessert: Once chilled, use the frosting to top cakes, cupcakes, or any dessert of your choice. Enjoy the light, creamy texture!
