• Make the frosting: Once the pudding has cooled, beat the butter bowl until smooth and fluffy and lightened in color, around 5 minutes. Add the cooled pudding (which will look like glue at this point) one tablespoon at a time, mixing well after each addition. Once all the pudding has been added, mix for another few minutes, until the buttercream looks thick, smooth and creamy. Add the vanilla and cinnamon and mix briefly to combine.
