How To Make This Vanilla Cool Whip Pie Recipe
OUR RECIPE DEVELOPER SAYS
This recipe needs to chill in the fridge for about 8 hours before serving. This is a great recipe to make the day before so that it is ready when you need it.
STEP ONE: Using a medium bowl and a handheld electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat the cream cheese for 1 to 1½ minutes, until smooth.
PRO TIP:
Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature to avoid lumps in your creamy filling.
STEP TWO: Sprinkle the dry pudding mix over the cream cheese and continue mixing for 1 more minute until well combined.
STEP THREE: Add the marshmallow fluff to the pudding mixture and continue mixing just until incorporated.
STEP FOUR: Fold in the thawed Cool Whip topping.
STEP FIVE: Spread the Cool Whip mixture into the pre-made graham cracker crust. Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 8 hours to overnight. Slice into eight servings and garnish the outer edges of the slices with whipped topping, if you wish.
PRO TIP:
If your pie crust is in a foil tin, we’d recommend sitting the whole thing inside a glass pie pan to give it a bit more stability.

Great pie recipes
Tricia says
Made this last night. Served with strawberries. Light, cool, refreshing. In a South Carolina summer, thatโs saying something! Everyone loved it and most think I worked hard at it! Letโs not tell.
Rebecca Z says
This flavor combo is right up my alley & I knew I would love it. I didnโt have fluff but I had a bag of mini marshmallows so I melted 2 cups of those in the microwave with about 2 TBS of vanilla syrup that I had on hand for egg creams & mixed that it. It was excellent
Linda says
I made this yesterday, had to buy French vanilla pudding (all they had), this was amazing! What an easy dessert that tastes like no other! Will make again. Thinking lemon pudding for spring would be great! Thanks for an easy great dessert.

Think I might add a little more flavoring
Alma Vincent says
Love this recipe!
Sherri S says
This would be delicious with butterscotch pudding. When making the original recipe and getting ready to serve you can put a spoonful or two of your favorite chilled pie filling on top.
Trine says
I love and use these recipes almost everyday. Thanks!
