Description
A light, fluffy, and creamy frosting made with instant vanilla pudding — perfect for cakes, cupcakes, or even as a dip.
Ingredients
1 (3.4 oz) box instant vanilla pudding mix
1 cup cold milk
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup heavy whipping cream
Instructions
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the instant vanilla pudding mix and cold milk. Whisk until it begins to thicken, about 2 minutes.
2. Add the softened butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth and fluffy.
3. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
4. Fold the whipped cream into the pudding mixture gently until fully incorporated.
5. Chill the frosting for at least 15–20 minutes before spreading or piping.
Notes
This frosting holds its shape well and pipes beautifully.
Keep refrigerated if not using immediately.
You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less powdered sugar.
Try using other pudding flavors like chocolate or cheesecake for variety.
