Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 (8 oz) container of whipped topping (Cool Whip)
- 1 package (5.1 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt for a lighter version)
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup blue food coloring (or gel, for more intense color)
- 15-20 chocolate chip cookies (such as Chips Ahoy or Oreo)
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Fluff Base: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and milk until the mixture begins to thicken. Next, stir in the sour cream (or Greek yogurt), powdered sugar, and blue food coloring, mixing until the mixture is smooth and evenly blue-colored.
- Fold in the Whipped Topping: Gently fold the whipped topping (Cool Whip) into the pudding mixture until it becomes smooth and fluffy, taking care to maintain the airy texture without deflating it.
- Crush the Cookies: Crush the chocolate chip cookies into medium-sized pieces by hand or with a food processor, ensuring that the cookie pieces retain some texture for a nice contrast in the final fluff.
- Combine the Cookies and Fluff: Stir the crushed cookie pieces into the fluffy mixture carefully, preserving their shape to maintain texture within the dessert.
- Chill: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the Cookie Monster Fluff for at least 2 hours. This chilling step allows the flavors to meld and the fluff to set properly.
- Serve: Before serving, sprinkle mini chocolate chips on top as a garnish for extra sweetness and visual appeal. Serve chilled and enjoy your delightful Cookie Monster Fluff!
Notes
- You can substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt for a lighter option without sacrificing creaminess.
- For a more intense blue color, use gel-based blue food coloring instead of liquid.
- Cookie size can be adjusted to preference; medium pieces work best for texture.
- Make sure to fold gently when incorporating whipped topping to keep the fluff airy.
- This dessert must be chilled for at least 2 hours to set properly and develop flavors.
