Pudding Mix Frosting Recipe - (4.2/5) image

Provided by á-646

Number Of Ingredients 2

1 small (3.4-ounce) package chocolate instant pudding
2 cups heavy whipping cream, cold

Steps:

  • Using a Kitchen Aid mixer with the whisk attachment (or any whisking contraption) pour pudding mix and heavy whipping cream into the bowl and whisk for 2 to 3 minutes or until stiff. Place in refrigerator to chill if you won't be using for a few hours or just keep on the counter top. Notes: Refrigerating will cause the frosting to get extra thick, so if you plan on piping the frosting out, your hand will get a work out. You can do this with ANY instant pudding mix, just replace the milk called for on the box with heavy whipping cream and whip!

  • You can use any type of pudding mix you like, but chocolate, vanilla, and butterscotch are all popular choices.

  • If you want a thinner frosting, add more milk or cream.
  • You can flavor the frosting with any extract you like, such as vanilla, almond, or peppermint.
  • You can also add other ingredients to the frosting, such as chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or sprinkles.
