Step 1: Prepare the Pudding
In a medium mixing bowl, prepare the instant pudding according to the package instructions using the specified amount of milk. Typically, this involves whisking the pudding mix and milk together until well combined.
Allow the pudding to thicken slightly by letting it sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes . If desired, refrigerate it for an additional 5–10 minutes to ensure it reaches the right consistency.
Step 2: Combine with Cool Whip
Once the pudding has thickened, fold in the thawed Cool Whip gently using a spatula or spoon. Be careful not to overmix, as you want to preserve the airiness of the Cool Whip.
Continue folding until the mixture is fully combined and uniformly smooth.
Step 3: Chill the Frosting
Refrigerate the frosting for at least 15–30 minutes before using. This allows the flavors to meld and the texture to firm up slightly, making it easier to spread or pipe.
Step 4: Frost Your Dessert
Use the frosting to cover cakes, fill cupcakes, or top brownies, cookies, or fruit. Decorate with sprinkles, chocolate shavings, or fresh berries if desired. Serve immediately or chill until ready to serve.
Tips for Success
Don’t Overmix : Folding the Cool Whip into the pudding preserves its light, airy texture. Avoid stirring vigorously.
Experiment with Flavors : Try different pudding flavors like chocolate, vanilla, pistachio, or butterscotch for variety.
Adjust Consistency : If the frosting seems too runny, add more pudding mix or chill it longer. If it’s too stiff, stir in a splash of milk.
Make Ahead : Prepare the frosting up to a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Give it a quick stir before using.
