How to Make Creamy Frosting For Kids

  1. In a small saucepan, melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) of unsalted butter over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar and cook, stirring constantly, until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is smooth and bubbly.
  2. Remove from heat and pour the butter mixture into a large mixing bowl. Add 3.4 oz (1 small box) instant pudding mix (any flavor), 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/2 cup milk. Mix until well combined.
  3. Add 4 ounces (1/2 package) of softened cream cheese and beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
  4. Gently fold in 8 ounces (1 container) of thawed cool whip.
  5. Refrigerate the frosting for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the frosting to thicken.
  6. Frost your cake or cupcakes and refrigerate until ready to serve.
