Awesome, easy and delicious. Used on cupcakes for my daughters party. Used Cheesecake pudding instead of Vanilla. And, used only 1/2 cup a milk. Super good. Kids and grown-ups gave rave reviews. I am going to try with lemon pudding.

Very yummy! I made it with white chocolate pudding and it was delicious! I didn't give it 5/5 stars because when I followed these directions, it was a little bit runny. I just added more powdered sugar until I got the consistancy that I wanted.

 Bethany (Texas) says:
Yum! I used the previous posters advice on using only 1/2 a cup of milk. I also used fat free cool whip and fat free milk! So delish!

I originally made this frosting intending to use it on a coconut cake for my brother's birthday. I used cheesecake pudding and the whole cup of milk, and the frosting was easy to make and delicious. I made a last minute decision to make cake pops instead and ended up with quite a bit of left over frosting. My brother got a hold of the bowl and was eating it by itself, so I would say it was a success.

This is wonderful! It made PLENTY of topping and I had enough left over to save as fruit dip. I used about 3/4 cup of milk, added a dash of vanilla flavoring. I might have used a little less than 1/4 cup powdered sugar (I didn't measure) and it was PLENTY sweet. After I put the topping on the cake I added strawberries. A great Mother's Day treat!

I love this recipe however, I did also change it a bit. I used 1 cup of powdered sugar, 3/4 cup milk, 1 package vanilla pudding and 2 (8 oz. each) containers of cool whip. Fabulous on my new sponge cake with whiskey simple sugar glaze. I also added cherries.

 Casey (Indiana) says:
Wonderful!!! I put this on a vanilla cake, Amazing!! Although I read the reviews, so I used 1/2 cup milk and I think 1/3 cup would be better to make it a little thicker. There was a lot left over. I added a dash of cinnamon on top for visual and it added an amazing taste!! My daughter who does not like cool whip, ate it up!!

When I make this I use the large container of extra creamy cool whip. Makes it so much thicker and creamier.

Add 4 oz. of softened cream cheese and any flavorings you like or any flavor pudding mix. I have used Strawberry cream, Lemon, Pumpkin and banana. This is a family favorite at our family gatherings and requested for birthdays.
