Ingredients
- 1 package (3.4 oz) of instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1 cup cold milk
- 1 tub (8 oz) of frozen whipped topping, thawed (such as Cool Whip)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional: Food coloring for desired color
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Pudding Base
Mix the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the instant vanilla pudding mix with 1 cup of cold milk.
Blend Until Smooth: Using a whisk, beat the mixture together until it becomes smooth and creamy. This should take about 2 minutes. The pudding should be slightly thickened at this point.
Add Vanilla Extract: Pour in the vanilla extract and incorporate it thoroughly. This will enhance the flavor profile of your frosting.
Step 2: Incorporate the Whipped Topping
Fold in the Whipped Topping: Gently fold the thawed whipped topping into the pudding mixture.
Ensure Even Consistency: Be sure to fold, rather than stir vigorously. This maintains the airy texture of the whipped topping. Keep folding until the whipped topping is fully incorporated and the frosting is uniform in consistency.
Step 3: Adjust for Color and Flavor if Desired
- Add Food Coloring: If you wish to tint your frosting, now is the time to add food coloring. Start with a few drops and gently fold the color into the mixture. Continue to add until your desired shade is reached.
Step 4: Chill for Best Results
- Refrigerate the Frosting: For perfect piping and spreading consistency, allow the frosting to chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This will further thicken it and ensure it holds its shape beautifully.
Step 5: Frost Your Creations
- Ready to Use: Once your frosting is thoroughly chilled, it’s ready to adorn your baked goods. Use a spatula for spreading or a piping bag for more intricate patterns.
