If you have another box you could add more of the pudding mix to what you already have made. I always use less milk than the directions call for when I am using instant pudding for a filling. HTH

Whipping a cup of heavy cream and folding it in works nicely for me.

I use one box of pudding, 1 cup of milk, 1/4 cup of powdered sugar.

and remember it is now a filling that should be refrigerated!!!!

(oh, IMHO -- cooked is so much better!)

I use less milk also, just like mentioned above and it works.

I let it set up in the refrigerator for a bit before I fill the cake.

I've made a pretty decent 'mousse' by using heavy cream, instant pudding mix and a packet of gelatin.

Wonder if using non-dairy creamer would = the same without requiring refrigeration? icon_rolleyes.gif

Or, what about using water-also no need to refrigerate?

I usually add 1/4 C less milk than specified. Cooling the pudding for an hour also helps to make it thick.

I use at least half heavy cream in place of the milk...

I follow directions for one box of pudding but use two boxes of pudding.  I then add some cool whip and chill it.  Makes a delicious filling; and the two boxes give it a richer taste that compliments cake wonderfully.
