Easy Mousse Cake Filling - Any Flavor!

"This is the easiest filling to make for a layer cake. You can make it in almost any flavor. Instead of or in addition to the instant pudding, you can mix in a fruit filling such as marionberry or strawberry. My favorite flavor of pudding to use is cheesecake. Tastes so good with a chocolate or lemon cake. This will make enough to fill a typical layer cake."

directions

  • In a chilled metal bowl, beat whipping cream on medium-high speed until it begins to thicken.
  • Gradually add in the instant pudding mix and continue to beat, just until thick.
  • If you'd like to add fruit filling, fold it into the cream after it's thickened.

Questions & Replies

  1. Will this work for filling three-layer two-tiered wedding cakes? Also, how long will it be okay unrefrigerated?
     
  2. I need to make a cake with an edible image which can not be in the refrigerator. I've made this filling and love it ! Will it be ok because of the sugar content to use this as a filling and give it to the lady the night before?
     
  3. I’d like to make cookies and cream mousse, would you recommend vanilla or cheesecake pudding?
     
  4. This sounds so good! Would i be able to freeze a cake filled with this? Thanks!!

Reviews

  1. I've used this and got rave reviews too. With vanilla pudding I've added chopped fresh strawberries and with the chocolate pudding I added coffee liquour for flavor. I haven't had problems with sliding b/c the filling is very thick.
     
  2. I used this as the filling for a cake I was making for a wedding shower. It was super-easy and sooo tastey. (I had no problem with the layers sliding.) Several people asked me for the recipe. I will be using this recipe again and again.
     
  3. This recipe, using a dark chocolate instant pudding mix came out so artificial tasting. I made a second batch but added 2 C. Cocoa Powder, and 2 C. Powdered Sugar to the pudding mix. Whisked all dry ingredients together then added the whipping cream and beat it all at once. WAY BETTER!
     
  4. This is very easy to make and great because there are so many different flavor of pudding mixes. I use this recipe a lot!
     
  5. To think, some of this actually made it to the cake. Not funny? You should walk a mile in my shoes and bra.

Tweaks

  1. This looks phenomenal!!! The icing taste wonderful and I used a devil’s food cake. I topped it with Cadbury chocolate shavings. I used the heavy whipping cream and Godiva chocolate pudding. It was a little too bland and thick so I added powdered sugar to sweeten a little more and added about 1/4 cup (or less) whole milk to make it a little thinner/fluffier because it was too thick. Looks absolutely delicious now and I can’t wait to we get to Dig in to this! ??
     
  2. I add a bit more whipping cream when the mixture is too thick.
     
  3. ! ADDED ESPRESSO POWDER next time I will add 3tps. I love a heavy coffee flavor to my chocolate :)
     
  4. I added 2 heaping tbls of coca powder!
