Baking tools for this recipe
Instructions
- Whisk the pudding mix with the cold milk and vanilla for 2 minutes until thick.
- Let it stand 5 minutes to set fully.
- Fold in the thawed whipped topping a third at a time until smooth and fluffy.
- Chill 30 minutes for a firmer spread.
- Spread or pipe onto completely cooled cake or cupcakes.
Tips
- Use cold milk or the pudding will not thicken.
- Do not whisk after folding or the topping deflates.
- Frost cooled cakes only; the frosting melts on warm ones.
- Refrigerate frosted desserts that contain dairy; do not leave them out more than 2 hours (1 hour above 90 F / 32 C).
