Categories     Frosting Icing and Fondant

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 3.5-oz package instant vanilla pudding mix
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 8-oz tub whipped topping (thawed, if frozen)
Few drops food coloring (optional)

Steps:

  • Combine the pudding mix, milk, and vanilla. Using a medium-sized bowl, pour out pudding mix, then add the milk and vanilla. Whisk the ingredients together until they're well blended and it mixture begins to thicken. You can substitute in almond extract in place of the vanilla extract for a sophisticated flavor variation. You can substitute other flavored pudding mixes in place of the vanilla for variety, like chocolate, butterscotch, cheesecake, etc.
  • Fold in the whipped topping. Add the whipped topping to the ingredients in the bowl. Using a spatula, fold the ingredients together gently to combine. When adding the whipped topping, it's important to fold it in gently rather than stir it in to maintain the consistency. Be sure the ingredients are thoroughly mixed so that the frosting is a uniform color and not streaked. At this point you can add several drops of food coloring if you'd like a colored frosting.
  • Spread the frosting. Using a spatula, begin spreading the frosting over your desired dessert, several tablespoons at a time. Once the entire surface is covered, use the spatula to smooth out the frosting and ensure that it's evenly distributed across the surface. You can spread this frosting on a variety of cakes and desserts, from angel food cake to cupcakes to sheet cakes. If you like, you can use a butter knife or the spatula to create a wave-like design in the frosting. As an alternative, you can spoon the frosting into a pastry bag (or a plastic storage bag with a small hole cut from one of the corners), and, using a frosting tip, squeeze frosting onto your dessert.

VANILLA COOL WHIP FROSTING



Vanilla Cool Whip Frosting image

This comes from the Scottsdale Living Newspaper, sent in by the Olson family. The cake recipe submitted with it is the Ice Water Cake.

Provided by BakinBaby

Categories     Dessert

Time 3m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 (4 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 cup milk (cold)
1 (8 ounce) container Cool Whip

Steps:

  • Combine pudding mix, sugar & milk in a bowl, beat at low speed until well blended (about 1-2 min.).
  • Fold in whipped topping, spread on cake.

Tips for Making Cool Whip Frosting:

  • Use cold ingredients: Using cold heavy cream and cream cheese helps the frosting whip up lighter and fluffier.
  • Whip the cream and cream cheese separately: This helps to incorporate more air into the frosting, making it lighter and fluffier.
  • Add the sugar gradually: Adding the sugar gradually helps to prevent the frosting from becoming grainy.
  • Don't overbeat the frosting: Overbeating the frosting can cause it to become stiff and curdled.
  • Use the frosting immediately: Cool Whip frosting is best used immediately after it is made. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, but it may lose some of its volume and fluffiness.

Conclusion:

Cool Whip frosting is a delicious and versatile frosting that can be used on a variety of desserts. It is easy to make and can be customized to fit your taste. With these tips, you can make a perfect Cool Whip frosting that will impress your friends and family.
