Whipped Cream Mousse Frosting

          

A friend of mine requested a light whipped cream mousse-like frosting for her Mother’s Day cake. This is what I came up with. If you are looking for a white frosting use clear vanilla and white chocolate pudding. It does require refrigeration.

Original recipe makes 15 servings

Ingredients

1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 (3.5 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix
1/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups frozen whipped topping (such as Cool Whip®), thawed

  • PREP

    10 mins

  • READY IN

    10 mins

Directions

  1. Beat the whipping cream, instant pudding mix, milk, and vanilla extract together with an electric hand mixer in a large bowl until soft peaks start to form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the mixture will form soft mounds rather than a sharp peak.
  2. Fold the whipped topping into the whipping cream mixture to evenly mix. Refrigerate until ready to use.
