Ingredients
- 1/2 cup salted butter
- 1/2 cup milk
- 3 tablespoons instant pistachio pudding powder
- 2 - 2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
- Using the paddle attachment on a stand mixer, cream the butter until light and fluffy.
- In a measuring cup, combine the milk and the pudding mix until it's completely dissolved. If you do not dissolve it all at this point, you will have gritty icing!
- Beat the pudding mixture into the butter completely.
- Add in the powdered sugar, half a cup at a time, beating in completely.
- Chill the icing for approximately 20 minutes, to allow the jello and the butter to set more completely.
- Use to ice cakes and cupcakes.
- Yield: Approximately 1 1/2 cups of icing. This will frost one standard sized bundt cake perfectly.
