Description
M&Ms Cool Whip and Pudding Frosting is a fun, creamy, and colorful topping for cakes, cupcakes, or cookies. The perfect combination of smooth pudding, fluffy Cool Whip, and crunchy M&Ms makes for a delightful and easy-to-make frosting that adds both texture and sweetness to your baked goods.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (3.4 oz) box vanilla pudding mix (instant)
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1 (8 oz) tub Cool Whip, thawed
- 1/2 cup M&Ms (or more, depending on preference)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk the instant vanilla pudding mix with milk according to package directions. Set aside for 5 minutes to thicken.
- Once the pudding has set, gently fold in the Cool Whip until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.
- Stir in the M&Ms, reserving a few for garnish if desired.
- Spread the frosting on cooled cakes, cupcakes, or cookies. Garnish with extra M&Ms on top for a colorful finish.
- Refrigerate any leftover frosting, and consume within 2-3 days for the best texture.
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can use chocolate or butterscotch pudding mix instead of vanilla.
- If you prefer a thicker frosting, use less milk when making the pudding, or add more Cool Whip to achieve your desired consistency.
- This frosting is best served fresh, but it can be stored in the fridge for a few days.
