How to Make White Chocolate Pudding Buttercream Frosting

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 (3.4 ounce) package instant white chocolate pudding mix and ½ cup milk until smooth.
  2. Refrigerate or freeze the pudding mixture for at least 15-20 minutes, or until thick and set.
  3. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, beat 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened, and ½ cup shortening with a hand mixer until light and fluffy.
  4. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and the thickened pudding mixture to the butter mixture.
  5. Beat until thoroughly combined.
  6. Gradually add 4 cups powdered sugar, beating on low speed until incorporated.
  7. Add milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the frosting reaches your desired consistency (you may need 3-4 tablespoons).
  8. Transfer frosting to a piping bag or bowl and frost your baked goods.
  9. For best results, use frosting immediately after making. If preparing ahead, refrigerate and thin with additional milk before using.
