Unlike traditional buttercream, this version stays fluffy, pipeable, and stable for hours — perfect for cakes, cupcakes, cinnamon rolls, waffles, or even as a dip for fruit!

🧾 Ingredients

  • 1 package instant vanilla pudding mix (3.4 oz / 96g)
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 cup cold milk
  • 1 tub Cool Whip or whipped topping (8 oz / 225g)

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the pudding mix, powdered sugar, and cold milk until smooth and slightly thickened.
  2. Let it sit for 2 minutes to fully set.
  3. Gently fold in the Cool Whip using a spatula — do NOT whisk or overmix.
  4. Add vanilla extract or coloring if desired.
  5. Chill for 15–30 minutes before spreading or piping onto desserts!
