Thanks, I really wanted an alternative to buttercream and this looks perfect

[@Jesssofalltrades]

It's my pleasure ❤️ This is my favorite buttercream alternative because it's quick, easy and uses way less powdered sugar

Hi thank you for sharing. Ive been looking for a vidio like this. I've been using instant vanilla jello puding for a few year. I stopped because i didn't like it because the jellow powder didnt disolve and when i ate the cream it was crunchy. Have you experienced this? Can you recomend anything to prevent this. I really like the way the pudding stabalized the cream and it kept in the fridge a long time. Once i ised it after two weeks and it was still good. Love your channel. I stumbled on it at 1 a.m. 😅 Thank you

[@Jesssofalltrades]

Haha Welcome! 🥰 I know exactly what you mean because it's happened to me a few times. Usually the grainy-ness goes away after some time of letting the pudding dissolve into the icing as it sits. What's also helped me is adding the pudding mix to the cream first and mixing a bit longer, to almost soft peaks, before adding powdered sugar. This + time should help with getting you a smoother icing ❤️

With so much cream is it okay out of the fridge for a day or two or would they need to keep cake in the fridge after eating? And any issues with separating. I know butter sometimes can stay stable a bit longer. Thank you so much - I'm gonna try it this weekend!

[@Jesssofalltrades]

I would definitely keep this refrigerated until about an hour or so before serving becausr it will melt. Besides that, I've never had any problems with separating of the icing.

Great tutorial Jess. I make ice cream cakes a lot for birthdays and need this recipe! I'm going to attempt pavlova for the holiday and was wondering if I can make this 24 hours in advance and keep in the fridge before I assemble the dessert. Thank you!

[@Jesssofalltrades]

Thank you ❤️ and Yes! I often make this icing ahead of time and it works just as well as when it's fresh.

[@jodimcgowan7169]

Jess, wondering if you have ever tried this with the "sugar free" version of the instant pudding. I read thru the comments, and nobody has mentioned it. Just trying to cut down on the sugar a bit, making a fresh fruit cake, and have a few diabetics in the group. Thanks!

[@Jesssofalltrades]

I have not, but I don't see why it wouldn't work just the same! ❤️ I'll try this asap and get back to you, just to make sure.

[@jodimcgowan7169]

@@Jesssofalltrades Well, I tried it today, and it worked, but it got REALLY firm. I had to add about half a cup of additional cream to make it spreadable. I did use it to fill my layers, and make a "dam" for the fresh fruit in the filling, but then had to thin it down to spread on the sides of the cake. Overall, a success! Thank you!

Can I also just use butter icing sugar en instant pudding?

[@Jesssofalltrades]

Hmmm, I've never added instant pudding to buttercream, so I can't say for sure if that would work or not. But if you try it, I'd like to know how it goes 😊

[@xxSydneyFox]

Is there a way to make this without instant pudding? I don't like them due to all the additives. Thanks

[@Jesssofalltrades]

Unfortunately, no, this recipe only works with instant pudding. I have tried a stabilized whipped cream recipe that uses plain gelatin, the process is just different. I'll be posting that soon ❤️

[@paulinaansah6704]

Can I omit the powdered sugar

[@Jesssofalltrades]

Hi Paulina. I've never tried this recipe or any icing without powdered sugar, so i can not say for sure if omitting it will give you the same end product that you see in this video.

[@Natashadatrucker]

Maybe using cornstarch if you don't want the sugar. That's in the powdered sugar anyways. 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@mariettajones3093]

I've made this without the addition of any sugar, and it worked great. Try 1 cup of cream, and see for yourself. I think you'll like the result.
