Whisk Ingredients:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the pudding mix, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and slightly thickened (about 2 minutes).

Let Set:
Let the mixture sit for 3–5 minutes to firm up a bit more.

Fold in Cool Whip:
Gently fold in the Cool Whip until fully combined and fluffy. Avoid overmixing to maintain the airy texture.

Frost or Chill:
Use immediately to frost your desserts or refrigerate until ready to use.

Tips for Best Results

Ensure Cool Whip is fully thawed before mixing for the smoothest texture.

Want to change the flavor? Swap vanilla pudding for chocolate, lemon, or cheesecake varieties.

Best used the same day, but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
