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

This frosting pairs well with a variety of cake flavors like chocolate, vanilla, or red velvet.
