Description

This light and fluffy Cool Whip frosting is a quick and easy way to elevate your desserts. Perfect for cakes, cupcakes, and cookies, it combines creamy Cool Whip with simple ingredients for a deliciously sweet topping that holds its shape and tastes amazing.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 (8 oz) container of Cool Whip, thawed
  • 1 (3.4 oz) package of instant pudding mix (vanilla or your preferred flavor)
  • 1 cup of cold milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the instant pudding mix and cold milk until it thickens, about 2 minutes.
  2. Gently fold in the Cool Whip until the mixture is fully combined and smooth. Be careful not to overmix to maintain its fluffiness.
  3. Add vanilla extract (if using) and stir gently to incorporate.
  4. Use the frosting immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before frosting your dessert.

Notes

  • For a firmer frosting, reduce the milk slightly.
  • This frosting pairs well with a variety of cake flavors like chocolate, vanilla, or red velvet.
  • Store any leftover frosting in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
