Let’s Get Frosting!
Step 1: Pudding Power
In a large bowl, whisk together the pudding mix and milk until thick and creamy (about 2-3 minutes). Follow the pudding mix instructions for the correct milk amount.
Step 2: Cool Whip Magic
Gently fold in the entire tub of Cool Whip. Don’t overmix – you want that fluffy texture!
Step 3: Vanilla Boost
Stir in the vanilla extract until well combined.
Step 4: Chill & Enjoy!
Cover and chill for at least 30 minutes to let it set. Then, frost away!
Keto-Friendly Option
Love this frosting but following a keto or low-carb diet? Here’s how to adapt it:
- Use sugar-free, low-carb pudding mix.
- Swap milk for unsweetened almond or coconut milk.
- Use sugar-free Cool Whip or make your own with heavy cream and a low-carb sweetener (like stevia or erythritol).
- Make sure your vanilla extract is sugar-free too.
Pro Tips for Perfect Frosting
- Use instant pudding mix – it sets beautifully!
- For a richer flavor, add a little extra pudding mix (but watch the texture!).
- Experiment with different pudding flavors!
- For a lighter frosting, use less pudding mix or half a tub of Cool Whip.
