Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (240 ml) cold milk
- 1 package (3.4 oz / 96 g) instant pudding mix (any flavor)
- 1 container (8 oz / 227 g) Cool Whip, thawed
Instructions
- Pudding Preparation: Whisk the instant pudding mix with chilled milk in a medium bowl, blending until achieving a velvety, lump-free consistency.
- Whip Integration: Allow the pudding to slightly thicken, then tenderly fold in the softened Cool Whip, maintaining its delicate airiness while creating a harmonious mixture.
- Mixing Technique: Stir the frosting with gentle, sweeping motions until the texture becomes uniformly creamy, eliminating any visible streaks or color variations.
- Frosting Application: Transfer the luxurious mixture to a decorating tool and spread or pipe evenly across the cooled dessert surface, ensuring complete and smooth coverage.
- Chilling Process: Refrigerate the adorned dessert for a minimum of 30 minutes, enabling the frosting to stabilize, set firmly, and develop a perfect, slice-ready consistency.
Notes
- Chill Ingredients First: Ensure milk and Cool Whip are thoroughly chilled to achieve a smoother, more stable frosting consistency.
- Whip Technique Matters: Fold Cool Whip gently using a spatula with light, sweeping motions to preserve its airy texture and prevent deflation.
- Eliminate Lumps Carefully: Whisk pudding mix and milk vigorously to create a silky-smooth base without any unwanted clumps.
- Refrigeration is Key: Allow frosted dessert to rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, helping the frosting set and enhance its overall flavor and texture.
