Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 box instant chocolate pudding mix
- 2 cups (480 milliliters) milk
- 1/2 cup (120 grams) creamy peanut butter
Dairy and Whipped Topping:
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) Cool Whip (thawed)
- 1/4 cup (30 grams) powdered sugar
Garnish:
- 1/4 cup (60 grams) crushed Reeses Peanut Butter Cups
Instructions
- Prepare the chocolate pudding by whisking it with milk in a medium bowl until smooth and lump-free. Allow the mixture to rest for approximately 5 minutes, enabling it to thicken and develop a rich consistency.
- In a separate mixing bowl, thoroughly blend peanut butter with powdered sugar until the mixture achieves a creamy, uniform texture with no sugar granules remaining.
- Delicately incorporate Cool Whip into the peanut butter mixture, using gentle folding motions to maintain the light, airy structure of the whipped topping.
- Gradually introduce the prepared chocolate pudding into the peanut butter-Cool Whip blend, stirring carefully to create a marbled, swirled appearance without overmixing.
- Transfer the frosting to the refrigerator and chill for 30 minutes at 40°F to help the mixture set and enhance its spreadable consistency.
- Once chilled, apply the frosting to cakes, cupcakes, or use as a decadent dip. Garnish with roughly chopped Reeses Peanut Butter Cups to add a delightful crunch and intensify the chocolate-peanut butter flavor profile.
Notes
- Customize pudding mix by choosing different flavors like vanilla or butterscotch for unique taste variations.
- Ensure peanut butter and powdered sugar are thoroughly mixed to prevent lumpy texture in the frosting.
- Fold Cool Whip gently to maintain its light, airy consistency and prevent deflating the mixture.
- Adjust consistency by adding more milk if frosting seems too thick or more powdered sugar if too thin.
