3 Ingredient Light Whipped Chocolate Frosting

If you're looking for a fuss-free chocolate frosting, this Whipped Chocolate Frosting takes 5 minutes to make with only 3 ingredients - heavy cream, sugar, and chocolate instant pudding mix! This crowd-pleasing chocolate frosting is light, fluffy, and downright delicious. It's perfect for cupcakes, cakes, cookie sandwiches, and enjoying straight from the spatula!

Ingredients

  • 1 pint heavy cream
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 3.4 oz chocolate pudding mix, (I use the jello cook n serve chocolate pudding mix)

Instructions
 

  • Add the heavy cream and powdered sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whip attachment.
  • Start on medium speed moving up to high for 2-3 minutes until you see soft peaks form. Add the chocolate pudding mix on top.
  • Mix again on medium high speed until stiff peaks form- about 45 seconds to 1 minute depending on the strength of your mixer.
  • Stop the mixer and fold lightly with a spatula, making sure to scrape the bottom of the bowl for any sugar or pudding mix clumps.
  • Use immediately or store in the fridge for 3 days.

Notes

The time it takes for your mixer to reach soft and stiff peaks will vary depending on the type of mixer and the strength of it. It's more important that you know what you are looking for versus the minutes it will take. Please look over the photos for what soft and stiff peaks look like for the best results!
