Smooth & Creamy Frosting

Submitted by Jeff's Girl Way Out West

"This is so, well, smooth and creamy! The recipe is passed down from my mother-in-law. I've seen similar recipes, but none this simple, fast and tasty. It's good on just about everything, but not suitable for decorating. It's just very spreadable. We particularly love it on a refrigerated Jell-o cake during the summer. Also, any flavor of instant pudding is a hit with this one! Our favorites are vanilla, lemon and chocolate. Covers the *top* of a 9x13 cake very well."

Thank you for this delish recipe! I was going to use regular whip cream on my Recipe #23480 when I read about this recipe instead. It's really creamy and has a fresh taste. Love it!

This recipe is very forgiving. I didn't use the powdered sugar and increased the cool whip (fat free) so I know mine was "softer" than if I had followed the recipe. I really really like this. I used cheesecake pudding. Thank you for sharing.

I too read your comments on the jello cake recipe and followed your suggestions for the cake and the frosting. The frosting is to die for. Thanks!!
