How to Make Jello Whip Frosting

  1. In a medium bowl, dissolve 1 (3 oz) package of Jello instant pudding mix in 1/2 cup (120ml) of boiling water. Stir for 2 minutes until completely smooth.
  2. Add 1/2 cup (120ml) of ice cubes and enough cold water to reach a total of 3/4 cup (180ml) of liquid.
  3. Stir until the ice is completely melted and the mixture is well combined.
  4. Add 1 1/2 cups (355ml) of Cool Whip to the Jello mixture. Using a wire whisk, gently whisk until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until the frosting has thickened and is no longer liquid.
  6. Once chilled, gently break up any clumps in the frosting with a spatula.
  7. Fold in the remaining 1/2 cup (120ml) of Cool Whip until you reach your desired consistency. Start with a few additions and adjust as needed.
  8. Frost your cupcakes or cake using a knife, spatula, or piping bag. Enjoy!
