Ingredients

1 Oreo pie crust
1 box white chocolate pudding (3.9 oz)
2 cups 2% milk (cold)
½ container Cool Whip
2-3 drops neon green gel food coloring
1-2 drops green food coloring
½ cup green sanding sugar
½ cup mini red heart sprinkles
½ cup large red heart sprinkles

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the white chocolate pudding according to the package directions, adding the milk and both green food colorings. Beat until the mixture sets and forms soft peaks with a bright green color.
Step 2: Spoon the pudding evenly into the Oreo pie crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Step 3: Refrigerate the pie for at least 3 hours to allow the pudding to fully set.
Step 4: Once chilled, remove the pie from the fridge and spread the Cool Whip evenly on top.
Step 5: Sprinkle the green sanding sugar and mini red heart sprinkles over the Cool Whip layer.
Step 6: Before serving, garnish each slice with one large red heart sprinkle for a festive touch.
Step 7: Slice, serve, and enjoy this sweet, colorful holiday treat!

Tips & Variations

Use whipped cream instead of Cool Whip for a fresh homemade topping.
Adjust the food coloring to make the green shade lighter or darker according to your preference.
Try adding crushed Oreo pieces on top for extra texture and flavor.
Substitute the Oreo crust with a graham cracker crust for a milder base.

Storage

Store the pie covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If the decorations lose their sparkle, add fresh sprinkles before serving. To reheat, no warming is needed—serve chilled for the best flavor and texture.

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 make this pie ahead of time?

Yes, this pie can be prepared up to a day in advance. Just keep it refrigerated until ready to serve.

What if I don’t have neon green gel food coloring?

You can use regular green food coloring alone, but the neon gel adds a brighter, more vibrant color typical of the Grinch theme.
