Pie Crust
Filling
- 1 box white chocolate pudding mix (3.9 oz)
- 2 cups 2% milk, cold
- 2–3 drops neon green gel food coloring
- 1–2 drops green food coloring
Toppings
- ½ container Cool Whip
- ½ cup green sanding sugar
- ½ cup mini red heart sprinkles
- ½ cup large red heart sprinkles
- Prepare the Pudding: In a mixing bowl, combine the white chocolate pudding mix with 2 cups of cold 2% milk. Add 2-3 drops of neon green gel food coloring and 1-2 drops of green food coloring. Beat the mixture according to the pudding package instructions until it thickens and forms soft peaks.
- Fill the Pie Crust: Spoon the prepared green pudding evenly into the Oreo pie crust, smoothing the top for an even layer.
- Chill the Pie: Refrigerate the pie for 3 hours to allow the pudding to set firmly.
- Add Toppings: After chilling, remove the pie from the refrigerator and spread a layer of Cool Whip over the top evenly.
- Decorate: Sprinkle green sanding sugar and mini red heart sprinkles generously over the Cool Whip. Just before serving, top each slice with a single large red heart sprinkle for a festive touch.
- Serve: Slice the pie and serve chilled. Enjoy this colorful, no-bake Grinch-inspired dessert!
