How to Make Instant Pudding Icing

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and milk until smooth.
  2. Add the softened butter and vanilla extract. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2-3 minutes, or until light and fluffy.
  3. If the icing is too thick, add a teaspoon of milk at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
  4. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to use. Allow to sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes before icing your cake for easier spreading.
