Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 1 pre-made graham cracker crust (9-inch)
Filling
- 1 (8 oz) tub of Cool Whip, thawed
- 1 (5.1 oz) box instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1 1/2 cups cold milk
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Topping (Optional)
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips or fruit
Instructions
- Prepare the Pudding Mixture: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and cold milk. Continue whisking for about 2 minutes, or until the pudding thickens.
- Mix with Cool Whip: Gently fold in the Cool Whip, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract into the pudding mixture. Be careful not to deflate the Cool Whip too much; you want to keep the filling light and fluffy.
- Assemble the Pie: Pour the mixture into the pre-made graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Chill: Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or overnight, allowing it to set completely.
- Top and Serve: Before serving, top the pie with mini chocolate chips, fresh fruit, or any topping of your choice.
- Slice and Enjoy: Slice the pie into 8 servings and enjoy this refreshing dessert.
Notes
- For best results, ensure the Cool Whip is fully thawed but still cold before mixing.
- You can substitute the graham cracker crust with a chocolate crust for a different flavor.
- Try using fresh berries or other fruits as your topping for a fruity twist.
- If you want a firmer filling, chill the pudding mixture before folding in the Cool Whip.
- This pie can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
