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!
3.4ozchocolate 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.
