Best Ever Frosting Recipe

1. Prepare the Pudding Mixture

  • In a medium bowl, combine the cold milk and instant vanilla pudding mix. Whisk until the pudding starts to thicken, about 2 minutes.
  • Let the pudding sit for another 1-2 minutes to fully thicken.

2. Add Sweetness and Flavor (Optional)

  • If you prefer a sweeter frosting, add powdered sugar to the thickened pudding mixture and whisk until smooth.
  • Add vanilla extract for an extra touch of flavor and mix well.

3. Fold in the Whipped Topping

  • Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping until the mixture is smooth and fluffy. Be careful not to overmix, as it may deflate the whipped topping.
  • The frosting should be light, creamy, and ready to use.

4. Chill and Frost

  • If the frosting seems too soft, refrigerate it for about 15-20 minutes to help it set.
  • Use immediately to frost cakes, cupcakes, or other desserts, or store in the refrigerator until ready to use.

Tips for the Perfect Frosting

  • Change the Pudding Flavor: Try chocolate, lemon, or even cheesecake-flavored pudding for a unique twist.
  • Use Fresh Whipped Cream: If you prefer, substitute the whipped topping with homemade whipped cream for a more natural taste (use about 1 cup of heavy cream, whipped to stiff peaks).
  • Storage: This frosting can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

This “Best Ever Frosting” is a game-changer! It’s simple, delicious, and adds a rich, creamy layer to any dessert.
