INGREDIENTS:

1 package instant vanilla pudding mix (3.4 oz)
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
8 oz. Cool Whip, thawed

HOW TO MAKE:

In a large bowl combine the pudding mix, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla.  Beat on medium-high until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
Once the pudding mixture is well combined, add in the thawed Cool Whip. Beat in until fully incorporated, creating a light and fluffy frosting.
Spread on cakes, cupcakes, or use as a dip for fresh fruit.  If not using right away, transfer to an airtight, covered container and refrigerate.

This frosting recipe is versatile.  Try it with different flavored puddings.
