In a large mixing bowl, combine the instant pudding mix and cold milk.
Whisk the mixture for 2–3 minutes until it thickens. Set aside for 5 minutes to allow the pudding to fully set.
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.
If using powdered sugar for added sweetness, sprinkle it into the whipped cream and continue whipping for another 30 seconds to combine.
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.
Once fully combined, the frosting is ready to use. Spread or pipe it onto cakes, cupcakes, or your favorite desserts.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
