Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box of instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 2 cups milk (whole or 2% works best for a creamier texture)
  • 1 cup Cool Whip (thawed)
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup crushed Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Mix the Pudding: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and 2 cups of milk. Keep whisking for about 2 minutes until the pudding starts to thicken. Once thickened, set the bowl aside and allow it to sit for 5 minutes. This will give the pudding time to fully set and achieve the perfect creamy texture.
  2. Combine the Peanut Butter and Powdered Sugar: In a separate bowl, mix together the creamy peanut butter and powdered sugar. Use a hand mixer or whisk to blend the two ingredients until you have a smooth, creamy mixture.
  3. Fold in the Cool Whip: Once your peanut butter mixture is smooth, gently fold in the thawed Cool Whip. The Cool Whip adds lightness and fluffiness to the frosting, making it easy to spread and giving it a lovely, airy texture.
  4. Combine the Layers: Now, carefully add the prepared chocolate pudding to the peanut butter and Cool Whip mixture. Use a spatula or spoon to gently stir the mixture until everything is well combined.
  5. Chill the Frosting: For the best results, refrigerate the frosting for about 30 minutes. This will help the frosting set and make it easier to spread on cakes, cupcakes, or whatever dessert you’re serving.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: After the frosting has chilled, it’s ready to use! Spread it generously on your favorite baked goods, or scoop it into bowls as a dip for fresh fruit. For an extra touch of sweetness, top your frosting with crushed Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.
