Mixing it up, building flavor, and using extra
Creating this frosting is incredibly easy—just combine the ingredients in a bowl and whisk them together. The secret to achieving the ideal consistency lies in using the correct ratios. Most recipes suggest about 1 cup of milk for each packet of instant pudding, along with 8 ounces of whipped topping. If your frosting seems too thick, you can easily thin it out by adding more milk, about a tablespoon at a time, to prevent it from becoming too runny.
Moreover, if you decide to double the milk and pudding mix, don’t immediately double the whipped topping. Start with the initial 8 ounces, then gradually add more until you reach your desired consistency. This approach allows you to have better control over the texture of your frosting and prevents the whipped topping from overpowering the flavor of the pudding mix.
Aside from its ease of preparation, one of the greatest advantages of this recipe is the endless variety of flavor combinations. For example, using chocolate milk and hot fudge pudding mix would create a delightful frosting for a rich devil's food cake (pun intended). If you prefer lighter flavors, consider using strawberry milk and white chocolate instant pudding for a tasty pairing with vanilla sheet cake. And if you happen to have leftover frosting, it can be enjoyed as a fruit dip or as a luxurious topping for an ice cream sundae, along with many other flavor options!
