Ingredients

• 3.4 oz Instant pudding mix (vanilla or flavor of choice)
• 2 cups Cold milk
• 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the instant pudding mix and cold milk.

Step 2

Using a whisk or an electric mixer, beat the mixture for about 2 minutes until it starts to thicken.

Step 3

In a separate chilled mixing bowl, add the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract.

Step 4

Use an electric mixer to whip the cream mixture on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. This usually takes about 3-4 minutes.

Step 5

Gently fold the whipped cream into the pudding mixture using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix, as you want the icing to remain light and fluffy.

Step 6

Once combined, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the icing to set.

Step 7

Remove the icing from the refrigerator and give it a gentle stir before spreading it on your cake, cupcakes, or dessert of choice.

Step 8

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
