Ingredients
Scale
Pie Filling
- 8 ounce package of cream cheese (softened)
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon almond extract
- 3.4 ounce box of instant vanilla pudding mix (e.g. Jello brand)
- 7 ounce container of marshmallow fluff
- ⅓ cup rainbow confetti sprinkles
- 4 cups whipped topping, thawed (one 8-ounce container + 1 cup for garnish)
Crust
- 1 premade graham cracker crust (9 inch or 6 ounce)
Garnish
- Remaining 2 tablespoons rainbow confetti sprinkles
Instructions
- Beat Cream Cheese and Extracts: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, use a handheld electric mixer at medium-high speed to beat the softened cream cheese, pure vanilla extract, and almond extract for 1 to 1½ minutes until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Add Instant Pudding Mix: Sprinkle the instant vanilla pudding mix evenly over the cream cheese mixture. Continue mixing for an additional 1 minute until the pudding is fully incorporated and the mixture is well combined.
- Incorporate Marshmallow Fluff: Add the marshmallow fluff to the mixture and blend just until it is incorporated, being careful not to overmix.
- Fold in Sprinkles: Gently fold in ⅓ cup of rainbow confetti sprinkles to evenly distribute them without breaking their shape.
- Fold in Whipped Topping: Carefully fold the thawed whipped topping into the mixture until combined, maintaining a light and airy texture.
- Fill the Crust and Chill: Spread the prepared filling evenly into the premade graham cracker crust. Cover and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight to allow the pie to set properly.
- Pipe Whipped Topping Garnish: Before serving, place 1 cup of thawed whipped topping into a decorator’s bag or a quart-size ziplock bag with a corner snipped off. Pipe 8 evenly spaced dollops around the edge of the pie so each slice has a dollop, and pipe one dollop in the center.
- Add Final Sprinkles and Serve: Sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons of rainbow confetti sprinkles over the top of the pie for a festive finish. Slice into 8 servings and enjoy.
