Chocolate Cool Whip IcingIngredients:
1 small (3.9-ounce) package of chocolate instant pudding
3/4 cup milk
1 8-ounce container of Cool Whip, thawed
Mix the milk and pudding together. I ended up using the wire whisk on my mixer. Then fold in the Cool Whip. (I had a little problem with the pudding not blending well with the Cool Whip because the smaller amount of milk made the pudding thicker than typical, so I used the mixer with the wire whisk to really smooth out the icing.)
The chocolate cross decorations were made with Wilton Candy Melts. I simply melted about 10 of the chocolate candy pieces in a decorating bag in the microwave. Then I snipped off the end and piped the crosses onto a sheet of parchment paper. An hour in the fridge was enough to harden them.
I love chocolate. This icing looks very yummy.
ReplyDeleteI love frosting especially the butter cream one you wrote about below.
ReplyDeleteGreat blog, A.J. I especially liked Brenda's cake a few posts down. It's gorgeous. Sigh. If I could have a few more talents, I'd pick painting and cake decorating (which is just another reason why I was Team Peeta:) ).
ReplyDeleteI can see this cool whip icing becoming a go to for decorating. Thanks so much for the great recipe and idea. You could use just about any pudding flavor with the cool whip couldn't you?
