Ingredients
8ouncescream cheese,softened
½teaspoonpure vanilla extract
¼teaspoonalmond extract
3.4ouncesinstant vanilla pudding mix(I used Jello brand, but you can use whatever brand you have on hand)
7ouncesmarshmallow fluff
½cuprainbow confetti sprinkles,divided into ⅓ cup and 2 tablespoons (I used Great Value rainbow confetti, but you can use any brand)
4cupswhipped topping,thawed (one 8-ounce container plus 1 cup for garnish)
9inchpremade graham cracker crust(or 6-ounce)
Instructions
Using a medium-sized mixing bowl and a handheld electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat the cream cheese, vanilla extract, and almond extract for 1 to 1½ minutes until smooth.
Sprinkle the instant pudding mix over the cream cheese and continue mixing for 1 more minute until well combined.
Add the marshmallow fluff and continue mixing just until incorporated.
Fold in ⅓ cup of rainbow confetti sprinkles.
Fold in the thawed Cool Whip.
Spread the Cool Whip mixture into the pre-made graham cracker crust. Chill in the refrigerator for 8 hours to overnight.
Just before you are ready to serve, add 1 cup of thawed whipped topping to a decorator's bag or a quart-size ziplock with a corner snipped off. Using an even, steady pressure pipe 8 dollops of whipped topping around the edge of the pie so that each slice has a dollop of whipped topping. Finally, pipe 1 dollop in the center of the pie.
Sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons of rainbow confetti sprinkles over the top of the pie. Slice into eight servings.
Notes
Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature to ensure you don’t end up with any lumps in the filing.
You can transfer a premade crust to a glass or metal pie plate for more stability. You can use the protective clear plastic cover as a top to the pie. Simply remove the paper insert and flip it over to form a dome.
