Frosting Ingredients

1 package instant pudding mix (any flavor, 3.4 oz)
2 cups cold milk
1 container Cool Whip (8 oz)

Instructions

Combine pudding mix and milk: In a mixing bowl, pour in the instant pudding mix and cold milk, ensuring both are well measured.
Whisk until thickened: Use a whisk to mix the pudding and milk thoroughly for about 2-3 minutes until the mixture thickens and becomes smooth.
Fold in Cool Whip: Gently fold the entire container of Cool Whip into the thickened pudding mixture, taking care not to deflate the whipped texture, until fully combined and smooth.
Use or chill: Use the frosting immediately to frost cakes or cupcakes. Alternatively, refrigerate it for 30 minutes if you prefer a thicker consistency before applying.
Store leftovers: Place any leftover frosting in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days to maintain freshness and texture.

Notes

The pudding flavor can be varied to customize the frosting taste.
Make sure the milk is cold to help the pudding set properly.
Folding gently maintains the whipped, airy consistency.
This frosting is best used within 5 days when refrigerated.
If refrigeration thickens the frosting too much, allow it to soften slightly before use.
