Cool Whip and Pudding Frosting

This Cool Whip and Pudding Frosting is a light, fluffy, and creamy topping perfect for cakes, cupcakes, trifles, or even fruit dips. With just five simple ingredients, it whips up in minutes and adds a delightful touch of vanilla sweetness without being overly rich. Great for make-ahead desserts and super customizable with different pudding flavors!

  • Total Time: 5 minutes

Ingredients

Scale

1 package instant vanilla pudding mix (3.4 oz)
2 tbsp powdered sugar
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
8 oz container Cool Whip (thawed)

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine the pudding mix, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Beat with an electric mixer on medium-high speed for 2 minutes.
Add in the Cool Whip and beat on medium until combined.
Use the frosting immediately to top cakes or cupcakes. If you have any leftovers or plan to store it for later use, transfer the frosting to an airtight container and refrigerate until you’re ready to enjoy it. Be sure to keep any leftover cake or cupcakes in the refrigerator as well!
