Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 8 ounces (226 grams) Cool Whip (thawed)
- 1 package (3.4 ounces or 96 grams) vanilla pudding mix
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) milk
Supporting Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons (30 grams) powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) vanilla extract
Instructions
- Combine the vanilla pudding mix and powdered sugar in a mixing bowl, whisking thoroughly to eliminate any potential lumps and ensure a smooth base.
- Pour in the milk and vanilla extract, then use an electric mixer to whip the ingredients at medium speed for approximately 2 minutes until the mixture develops a thick, creamy consistency.
- Incorporate the Cool Whip into the mixture, using a gentle folding technique to maintain the light, airy texture while creating a uniform frosting.
- Apply the freshly prepared frosting evenly across the surface of your cake or cupcakes, using a spatula or offset knife to create a smooth, elegant finish.
- Refrigerate the frosted dessert for 15-20 minutes to allow the frosting to set and enhance its spreadability before serving.
Notes
- Swap pudding mix flavors to create unique taste combinations like chocolate or banana for exciting variations.
- Chill the frosting for 15-20 minutes before spreading to achieve a firmer, more stable texture that’s easier to apply.
- Use low-fat or sugar-free pudding mix and Cool Whip for a lighter, diet-friendly version without compromising creamy smoothness.
- Store frosted desserts in the refrigerator to maintain the frosting’s structure and prevent separation of ingredients.
