Ingredients
- 1 large box of instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1 1/2 cups of milk
- 1 1/2 - 2 cups of Cool Whip or whipped heavy cream (your pick, but 1 1/2 cups of Cool Whip does the trick perfectly)
Instructions
- Take your whisk on a whirlwind adventure by mixing the instant pudding mix with the milk. This is your first step towards the promised land of creamy perfection.
- Pop this mixture into the fridge for about 5 minutes. Why? Because magic needs time to happen. This setting time is your ticket to the right consistency.
- Once your pudding mix has firmed up just a tad in the fridge, gently fold in the Cool Whip or whipped heavy cream. This is where it transforms from good to "where have you been all my life?"
- Boom! You're done. This concoction makes enough to fill and top a heavenly two-layer cake. Or, you know, eat it straight from the bowl (we don't judge here).
Notes
- Once you've filled and frosted your creation, dive right in or store it in the fridge. It's best served fresh but honestly, it's always a hit anytime.
Options for the Adventurous Soul:
- Feeling fruity? Toss some chopped fruits into the mix.
- A chocoholic? Mini chocolate chips will be your best friend.
- Ready to mix it up? Experiment with different pudding flavors – the sky's the limit!
- Why stick to one flavor? Go wild and choose one flavor to fill and another to top your cake.
- This isn't just for cakes, folks. Cupcakes, pancakes, waffles, French toast – they all deserve a bit of love from this filling.
