Adding instant pudding to butter cream

Ok, so I was looking for a way to tone down the sweetness of buttercream. Looked in my pantry and saw instant cheesecake pudding and thought, why not. I poured a little in, and voila! It tasted great and was really easy to smooth. Has anyone else tried this?

I tried it once but dissolved it in some water first. So you just dumped it straight in and it wasn't gritty? If that's the case I'm totally game. I find adding a little lemon or lime juice cuts the sweetness. Not enough to make it lemon flavor thoughicon_smile.gif

I have dissolved banana pudding mix in water first and added it for a quick and easy banana creme BC icing, loved it with chocolate cake!

I used to add it to store brought icing when my daughter was younger ... Gives it a whole new texture and taste. It was always a hit when I did it. I haven't added it to my BC yet

Did you use the whole small box of pudding mix? Or just a little bit? How do you know how much to put in?

I made a double batch of BC and just added a whole, small box. I was just playing around with it to see what it would do and that ratio seemed to be about right. Like I said, it had a great texture and I'll be trying it again for sure!

Does anyone know if there is a difference between the Jello brand no bake cheesecake mix ( you mix it with milk) and the cheesecake instand pudding mix? I can only find the no bake mix where i live icon_sad.gif I dont even know if they make it in canada....? I have been dying to make a cheesecake buttercream.

Does any know if the chocolate fudge pudding mix would be good to add to the buttercream instead of adding cocoa?

I dumped a box of butterscotch in a batch of SMBC once to see what would happen. I only tried a bit but loved it. I iced a cake for a birthday party with it and everyone complimented the flavor and texture of the icing!

i have used the no bake cheesecake. I mixed the no bake cheesecake mix with 1/2 of the liquid, let it set and then added it to the buttercream. only thing is it has a shorter shelf live than regular buttercream. HTH
