Our simple 3-ingredient Chocolate Pudding Cool Whip Frosting is both delicious and easy! This frosting tastes amazing on just about anything (or even by itself). It’s just a box of chocolate pudding, a tub of Cool Whip, and a bit of milk. How easy is that?!

Ingredients

1 box instant chocolate pudding, or any flavor 3.9 ounces
½ cup milk
1 tub Cool Whip 8 ounces

Instructions

Mix pudding mix and milk together in a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer on until fluffy, about 3 minutes, scraping down the bowl once.
1 box instant chocolate pudding, or any flavor, ½ cup milk
Add the whipped topping to the pudding mixture and mix another 3 minutes, scraping down the bowl once or twice.
1 tub Cool Whip

Notes

Start by mixing on low speed until all the ingredients are well incorporated. Gradually increase to medium-high speed, and then finish on high speed for a smooth, fluffy texture.

Scrape down the bowl a couple of times while mixing to make sure everything is evenly combined.

This frosting can be piped using a piping bag and your favorite tip (see photo above). It will hold its shape somewhat, but won’t have the crisp edges of traditional frosting.

This recipe makes enough frosting for a layer cake, 9" x 13" cake, or 24 cupcakes. Depending on how generously you frost, you may have some leftovers, especially when frosting the rectangular cake or cupcakes.

The cake in the photo above is my Easy Cake Mix Banana Cake.
