A quick, creamy, and fluffy frosting made with instant pudding mix and whipped topping. It’s lighter than buttercream, easy to whip up, and perfect for cakes, cupcakes, and more.

  • Total Time: 40 minutes (including chilling)
  • Yield: Frosts one 9×13 cake, two 8-inch layers, or ~24 cupcakes

Ingredients

  • 1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 container (8 oz) whipped topping, thawed

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine pudding mix, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract.
  2. Whisk or beat for about 1 minute until smooth and slightly thickened.
  3. Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping with a spatula until fully combined and fluffy.
  4. Chill the frosting for 30 minutes before spreading or piping.
  5. Use on cooled cakes, cupcakes, or other desserts.

Notes

  • Swap pudding flavors to customize: chocolate, cheesecake, pistachio, etc.
  • Add gel food coloring for festive looks.
  • Use light or sugar-free whipped topping for a lower-calorie option.
  • If frosting is too thin, reduce milk or add more powdered sugar.
