Pie Base
Filling
- 1 box white chocolate pudding (3.9 oz)
- 2 cups 2% milk (cold)
- 2–3 drops neon green gel food coloring
- 1–2 drops green food coloring
Topping
- ½ container Cool Whip
- ½ cup green sanding sugar
- ½ cup mini red heart sprinkles
- ½ cup large red heart sprinkles
- Prepare the pudding mixture: Combine the white chocolate pudding mix, 2 cups of cold 2% milk, and 2-3 drops of neon green gel food coloring plus 1-2 drops of green food coloring in a bowl. Beat the mixture with an electric mixer until it thickens and soft peaks form, ensuring a vibrant green and creamy pudding filling.
- Fill the pie crust: Pour the prepared green pudding evenly into the Oreo pie crust, smoothing the top with a spatula to create an even layer for the pie base.
- Refrigerate to set: Cover the pie and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, allowing the pudding to fully set and achieve the ideal texture for slicing.
- Add the whipped topping: Remove the pie from the refrigerator and evenly spread the Cool Whip over the set pudding layer, creating a light and fluffy topping.
- Decorate with sprinkles: Sprinkle the green sanding sugar and mini red heart sprinkles across the whipped topping for color and texture. Before serving, add a single large red heart sprinkle to each slice as a festive finishing touch.
- Serve and enjoy: Slice the pie and serve chilled for a fun and delicious holiday dessert that brings cheer to any table.
Notes
- For best results, use cold milk to ensure the pudding sets properly and achieves a creamy texture.
- The neon green and green food coloring can be adjusted to your preferred shade of green to make the pie look more vibrant or subtle.
- Make sure to refrigerate the pie for the full 3 hours to allow the pudding to firm up before adding the topping.
- This pie is best served chilled and enjoyed within 2 days for optimal freshness.
- If desired, substitute Cool Whip with any whipped cream alternative for a different flavor or dietary preference.
