Description

Heavenly Cool Whip and Pudding Frosting blends creamy textures into a cloud-like dessert topping that delights taste buds. Silky smooth layers melt effortlessly, promising sweet satisfaction for any celebration or casual treat you’ll savor.


Ingredients

Scale

Main Dairy Ingredients:

  • 1 cup cold milk
  • 1 (8 ounces / 226 grams) tub Cool Whip, thawed

Pudding Ingredient:

  • 1 (3.4 ounces / 96 grams) package instant pudding mix (any flavor)

Instructions

  1. Create a creamy pudding base by vigorously whisking instant pudding mix with cold milk for approximately 2 minutes until the mixture achieves a rich, thick consistency.
  2. Allow the pudding to rest for 1-2 minutes to help it set and stabilize.
  3. Carefully incorporate thawed Cool Whip into the pudding, using gentle folding motions to maintain a light, airy texture without deflating the mixture.
  4. Continue folding until the Cool Whip and pudding are completely integrated, creating a smooth and uniform frosting.
  5. Apply the frosting immediately to your chosen dessert, spreading evenly with a spatula or piping bag for a professional finish.
  6. Refrigerate the frosted dessert for at least 30 minutes to help the frosting set and enhance its creamy texture.
  7. Store any remaining frosting in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, ensuring it remains chilled to preserve its consistency.

Notes

  • Experiment with different pudding flavors like chocolate, vanilla, or pistachio to create unique frosting variations that match your dessert theme.
  • Use sugar-free pudding mix and light Cool Whip for a lower-calorie option that doesn’t compromise on delicious taste and creamy texture.
  • Chill mixing bowl and whisk beforehand to help the frosting set faster and maintain a more stable consistency when spreading on desserts.
  • Add a splash of vanilla extract or a sprinkle of cinnamon to enhance the flavor profile and create a more complex, interesting frosting experience.
