A large mixing bowl, combine the instant vanilla pudding mix, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Using an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat the mixture for about 2 minutes, until smooth and creamy.
Once the pudding mixture is well combined, add in the thawed Cool Whip. Beat on medium speed until the Cool Whip is fully incorporated into the pudding mixture, creating a light and fluffy frosting.
Your frosting is now ready to use! Spread it generously over cakes or cupcakes, or use it as a dip for fresh fruit. If you’re not using the frosting right away, transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate until you’re ready to indulge.
Remember to store any leftover desserts frosted with this mixture in the refrigerator due to the Cool Whip content.
Notes
This Cool Whip and Pudding Frosting is incredibly versatile and can be used to top a variety of desserts. Spread it over cakes, cupcakes, or even brownies for a deliciously creamy finish.
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.
