I did this a while ago. For a poke cake, you want a very light frosting that isn't too sweet. Try using Cool Whip. Let it thaw and spread it on liberally.

These are some great frosting ideas. Nutella is great as an alternative to frosting. Does anyone know of any lemon or maple frostings?

PUDDING FROSTING
use 2 large boxes or
3 small boxes of instant pudding you can use any flavor just fix as directed on yhe box let pudding set up and add 1 regular size carton of cool whip to pudding mix together well and frosting is raedy to go. I have used chocalate puuding for chocalate cakes and white chocalate for white cakes and my family likes either better tha any other frosting. The cake must be kept refrgerated after it is iced

Bittersweet Chocolate Ganache

6 oz Bittersweet chocolate
1 c Whipping cream
1 tb Brandy + 1 ts Brandy
1 ts Vanilla

Chop or grate choclate into fine crumbs. Heat cream until small bubles form around the edge; pour cream onto chocolate. Process or stir to melt chocolate completely. The mixture will be quite liquid. Let it cool. Beat in brandy and vanilla. This froasting takes several hours at room temerature to achieve spreading consistency. To speed the process, refrigerate. Stir occasionally to assure even chilling. Use as a frosting NOTE: This should be made with a blender. Can be done by hand but harder job.
