Pudding: This is a versatile recipe. You can use any of your favorite pudding flavors without making any recipe changes. I usually make chocolate or vanilla, but there’s nothing stopping you from using lemon, butterscotch, pistachio, or even tapioca!

Cool Whip: Whipped topping is the perfect way to achieve that light and fluffy texture we are after. It makes a wonderful frosting that can be used on just about any type of dessert. Make sure to use an 8 ounce tub of Cool Whip for this frosting.

Milk: Milk is used to make our pudding, so you will be using the amount called for on your particular box of pudding. I usually go with whole milk or 2% for my frosting.
