No Bake Grinch Pie (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Crust & Base

01 - 1 ready-made Oreo cookie pie crust
02 - 1 package (3.9 oz) instant white chocolate pudding mix
03 - 2 cups cold 2% milk

→ Toppings & Decorations

04 - ½ container frozen whipped topping, thawed
05 - 2-3 drops bright neon green gel food coloring
06 - 1-2 drops regular green food coloring
07 - ½ cup green decorating sugar
08 - ½ cup small red heart-shaped sprinkles
09 - ½ cup large red heart-shaped sprinkles

# Instructions:

01 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pudding mix, cold milk, and both types of green food coloring. Beat vigorously for about 2 minutes until the mixture thickens and begins to form soft peaks. The color should be a vibrant Grinch green!
02 - Spoon the bright green pudding mixture into your Oreo pie crust, spreading it out evenly with a spatula to create a smooth surface.
03 - Pop the pie into the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 3 hours. This allows the pudding to firm up perfectly and makes slicing much easier.
04 - Once the pudding is completely set, remove from the fridge and spread the thawed whipped topping evenly over the green pudding layer.
05 - Sprinkle the green sugar and mini red heart sprinkles generously over the whipped topping to create a festive, sparkly finish.
06 - Slice the pie into portions and just before serving each piece, top with one large red heart sprinkle as the perfect finishing touch. Enjoy this whimsical holiday treat!

# Notes:

01 - This festive pie can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, making it perfect for holiday meal prep.
02 - The vibrant green color comes from layering both neon gel and regular food coloring for that perfect Grinch shade.
03 - No baking required - this is an ideal dessert when you want something impressive but don't want to heat up the kitchen during the holidays.
