Tips & Variations

For a more intense green color, adjust the amount of neon gel food coloring gradually until you achieve your desired shade.
You can substitute the Oreo crust with a graham cracker crust if preferred, but the chocolate flavor adds a nice contrast.
Try adding a bit of peppermint extract to the pudding mix for a seasonal twist.

Storage

Store the pie covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To maintain the best texture, add the sprinkles fresh before serving if you plan to store longer. No reheating is needed—serve chilled for the best flavor and consistency.

How to Serve

A single slice of pie with three distinct layers sits in the center of a white plate on a white marbled surface. The bottom crust is a dark crumbly layer, almost black, tightly packed to form the base and edges. Above the crust is a bright, light green creamy filling with a smooth texture, making up about half of the slice’s height. The top layer is a white, fluffy cream with a slightly uneven surface, sprinkled with fine green crumbs. Three small, red heart-shaped decorations are placed on top of the cream, one near the tip and two closer to the back edge of the slice. A fourth red heart-shaped decoration lies on the white marbled surface near the plate. The background is softly blurred, showing hints of green and silver. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use a different pudding flavor?

Yes, you can substitute white chocolate pudding with vanilla or another light-flavored pudding, but the white chocolate adds a rich, complementary sweetness to the green theme.

What if I don’t have gel food coloring?

Gel food coloring is recommended for vibrant color without thinning the pudding. If you only have liquid food coloring, use it sparingly to avoid altering the pudding’s texture.
