There are plenty of ways to shortcut frosting. You can use peanut butter, marshmallow creme, or a pudding mix with half the milk.
All of those are great if you want a rich creamy frosting, like to pour over a cake. Or a super sticky marshmallow glob.
If you want something a little more fluffy, things start getting complicated. You start adding cream, beaters, powdered sugar, cream cheese, softened butter. The ingredients pile on, and it’s not a shortcut anymore.
Enter this beauty. There are some many possibilities. Just two ingredients, a whisk, and you get your favorite flavor of pudding in a frosting.
So, you need 8oz Frozen Whipped Topping (like cool whip) and one box of instant no cook pudding (any flavor).
What flavor are you going to chose? Cheesecake? Pistachio? White chocolate? Banana?
Peanut butter cake with banana frosting…. Caramel cake with butterscotch frosting… coconut frosting and some chocolate covered almonds on a chocolate cake (thinking of a candy bar?)….
So many options!
So what exactly do you do?
Just whip the Frozen Whipped Topping and the Pudding together with a whisk. One bowl, one utensil.
Go. Do it. It’s somebody’s birthday or something!
