Cool Whip, on the other hand, is a whipped topping that’s been pre-stabilized. It’s designed to hold its shape, making it an ideal partner for the pudding mix. When the two are combined, they create a frosting that’s both stable and airy.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Even the best bakers make mistakes. Here are a few common pitfalls to watch out for when making Cool Whip and Pudding Frosting:
Overbeating
While it’s important to mix the ingredients well, overbeating can cause the frosting to become too stiff. Mix until just combined for the best texture.
Not Thawing Cool Whip
Make sure your Cool Whip is fully thawed before using it. If it’s still partially frozen, it won’t mix properly with the pudding mixture, resulting in a lumpy frosting.
Skipping the Chill
If you’re not using the frosting right away, be sure to refrigerate it. This helps it set and maintain its fluffy texture.
