Pistachio Pudding Frosting - Master Cookbook Recipe # 298

This light and fluffy frosting is the ultimate companion to the Watergate Cake. By combining Dream Whip with pistachio pudding, you create a topping that is much more stable and flavorful than plain whipped cream, with a beautiful pale green tint and a silky-smooth finish that melts in your mouth.

Notes

Tammy’s Tips

For the best "from-scratch" results using a mix, always look for a white cake mix that does not have pudding already added,this ensures the texture stays light and doesn't get too heavy. Using a timer for that 4-minute mix is the secret to getting the soda and pudding perfectly incorporated for that signature Watergate lift!
