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

Yield

This whipped frosting makes about 2 1/2 cups of frosting and is enough to frost about 12 cupcakes. You can also fill and frost a 2 layer 8 inch cake.

Storing

Storing: If you aren't using your whipped chocolate frosting immediately, keep it covered with plastic wrap or in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. If it hardens, set it at room temperature to soften it. Likewise, if it's too soft, return it to the fridge to firm back up.
Freezing: You can freeze stabilized chocolate whipped cream in an airtight freezer-safe container for 2-3 months. Let thaw in the fridge before using.
