How to Make Pudding Cream Frosting

  1. In a large bowl, beat 1 cup of heavy cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
  2. Gently set the whipped cream aside.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 (3.4 ounce) package of instant pudding mix and 1 cup of milk on low speed for 1 minute.
  4. Let the pudding mixture sit for 1 minute to slightly thicken.
  5. Gently fold the whipped cream into the pudding mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Chill the frosting in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before using to allow the flavors to meld and the frosting to firm up slightly.
