ALTERNATIVE to ICING

ALTERNATIVE to ICING

When you must have frosting but want a better alternative! 

Great icing!!

All you do is mix one instant vanilla pudding packet (or whatever flavor you would like) with half of the milk called for on the package.

Whisk until it begins to thicken.

Then fold in 1 - 8 oz container of Cool Whip.

A great frosting ....spread on cakes and pipe onto cupcakes, a tasty filling in crepes or on waffles along with some fruit...way less sugar too!

~HEALTHIER ALTERNATIVE FOR ICING~

When you must have frosting but want a better alternative!

Mix one instant vanilla pudding packet (or whatever flavor you would like) with half of the milk called for on the package.
Whisk until it begins to thicken.

Then fold in one 8 oz container of Cool Whip.

Another healthier option-- choose sugar free pudding and almond milk as well as reduced fat or Cool Whip Free- would make a great fruit dip!!!

***But to make it even healthier...instead of using cool whip, make your own whipped cream--Use 1-1/2 cups of heavy cream, 1 tsp of vanilla, add a lil stevia, or honey (or sweetener of your choice) mix with a hand or stand mixer until soft peaks form, then fold in with the vanilla pudding... I use that mixture even by itself, without the vanilla pudding to frost cakes, cupcakes, etc. it is light & not rich and full of sugar like regular store bought or buttercream icings. Enjoy!!!
