How to make Cool Whip Pie
PRO TIP
For optimal results, allow this recipe to cool and set in the refrigerator for approximately 8 hours before serving. Preparing it a day in advance is a fantastic idea, ensuring it's perfectly ready and waiting when you're ready to enjoy it.
FIRST STEP: Using a medium-sized mixing bowl and a handheld electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat the cream cheese for 1 to 1½ minutes, until smooth.
PRO TIP
Ensure your cream cheese is at room temperature to prevent any unwanted lumps from forming in your lusciously smooth filling.
SECOND STEP: Sprinkle in the pudding mix and continue mixing for another 30 seconds to 1 minute, until well combined.
THIRD STEP: Add the marshmallow fluff and continue mixing just until incorporated.
FOURTH STEP: Fold in the thawed Cool Whip.
FIFTH STEP: Evenly spread the Cool Whip mixture into the premade crust, and chill in the refrigerator for 8 hours.
PRO TIP
If your pie crust is in a foil tin, we’d recommend sitting it inside a glass pie plate to give it a bit more stability.
SIXTH STEP: Just before slicing, add the ½ cup thawed Cool Whip to the center of the pie. Slice and serve immediately.
This delightful dessert is a crowd-pleaser, perfect for savoring during the sunny summer months or bringing out to celebrate special occasions and family get-togethers all year round.
Brimming with creaminess from the pudding, cream cheese, and Cool Whip, this heavenly treat is both effortless to prepare and incredibly scrumptious.
