Instructions:
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the instant vanilla pudding mix, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract.
Step 2
Using an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat the mixture for approximately 2 minutes until smooth and creamy.
Step 3
Once the pudding mixture is well combined, gently fold in the thawed whipped topping until fully incorporated, creating a light and fluffy frosting.
Step 4
Your frosting is now ready to use! Spread it generously over cakes or cupcakes, or use it as a dip for fresh fruit.
Step 5
If you’re not using the frosting right away, transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate until you’re ready to indulge.
Step 6
Remember to store any leftover desserts frosted with this mixture in the refrigerator due to the whipped topping content.
Notes:
This Whipped Pudding Frosting is incredibly versatile and can be used to top a variety of desserts such as cakes, cupcakes, or brownies.
Get creative and use it as a dip for fresh fruit like strawberries, bananas, or pineapple chunks. The combination of creamy frosting and juicy fruit is simply irresistible.
For an extra special touch, sprinkle some chocolate shavings, chopped nuts, or colorful sprinkles on top of the frosting before serving.
