The Science Behind the Magic
Ever wondered why Cool Whip and pudding mix work so well together? It’s all about the science. The pudding mix contains stabilizers that help the frosting hold its shape, while the Cool Whip adds volume and lightness. Together, they create a stable yet fluffy frosting that’s perfect for decorating.
