Ingredients

1 cup milk
1 3.4 oz Instant Pudding Mix Whatever flavor you choose!
8 oz softened cream cheese
8 oz tub Cool Whip

Instructions

First, you need to choose the flavor of your frosting. To do this, you want to pick the kind of pudding mix you want to use. You want to use instant pudding mixes. Some popular options are:
White chocolate pudding mix, Instant Vanilla Pudding mix, Chocolate Banana Cream, Pistachio, Coconut Cream, Cheesecake, Lemon
Now, you want to take your small box of pudding mix and put it in a small mixing bowl. You will next add 1 cup of cold milk(you can use whole milk or 2 percent low-fat milk) to the mix and whisk until thickened. While this pudding-milk mixture thickens, prepare the rest of your frosting ingredients.
Put your softened cream cheese in a large mixing bowl and use a hand mixer on slow speed(you can also use a stand mixer) to whip up the cream cheese to make sure it is smooth. You now want to slowly add your pudding mixture to the cream cheese about 2 spoonfuls to begin with. If you put all the pudding in at once, you will get clumps. Whip this up until it is smooth and then add the rest of the pudding gradually.
Last, you want to now fold the cool whip into the pudding/cream cheese mixture. Put half the cool whip into the bowl and fold it into the pudding. Repeat with the rest of the cool whip. You will have a light and fluffy delicious frosting.
