Ingredients

  • 3.4 oz Instant pudding mix (vanilla, chocolate, or flavor of choice)
  • 2 cups Cold milk
  • 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tbsp Powdered sugar (optional, for added sweetness)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the instant pudding mix and cold milk.

Step 2

Whisk the mixture for 2–3 minutes until it thickens. Set aside for 5 minutes to allow the pudding to fully set.

Step 3

In a separate chilled bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. This will take around 3–4 minutes.

Step 4

If using powdered sugar for added sweetness, sprinkle it into the whipped cream and continue whipping for another 30 seconds to combine.

Step 5

Gently fold the whipped cream into the set pudding mixture using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix, as you want to keep the frosting light and fluffy.

Step 6

Once fully combined, the frosting is ready to use. Spread or pipe it onto cakes, cupcakes, or your favorite desserts.

Step 7

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
