Ingredients
1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
1 cup cold milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tub (8 oz) Cool Whip, thawed
Instructions
Mix Pudding Base: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and cold milk for about 2 minutes, until thickened and smooth.
Add Vanilla: Stir in vanilla extract until well incorporated.
Fold in Cool Whip: Gently fold in the thawed Cool Whip using a spatula until the mixture is fully combined and fluffy. Avoid overmixing to keep the texture light.
Chill: Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes before using to firm up the texture.
Use: Once chilled, use to frost cupcakes, cakes, or desserts as desired.
Notes
Always use cold milk to ensure the pudding sets correctly.
Chilling helps the frosting hold its shape for piping or spreading.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Do not freeze, as thawing can alter the texture.
