This Cool Whip Frosting is a light, fluffy, and creamy topping that comes together in minutes with just a few ingredients. Perfect for cakes, cupcakes, and layered desserts, it’s a delicious alternative to heavier frostings.

  • Total Time: 5 minutes (+ optional 15 minutes chilling)
  • Yield: Frosts one 9-inch cake or about 12 cupcakes

Ingredients

  • 1 (3.4 oz) package instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 1 cup cold milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 (8 oz) tub Cool Whip, thawed

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and cold milk until it thickens, about 2 minutes.
  2. Stir in the vanilla extract until fully combined.
  3. Gently fold in the thawed Cool Whip, being careful not to overmix to maintain a light and fluffy texture.
  4. Use immediately to frost your dessert or chill for about 15 minutes for a firmer texture.

Notes

  • Chilling the frosting slightly before using helps it hold its shape better.
  • You can substitute different pudding flavors for variation.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Do not freeze, as texture may change when thawed.
