Scale
Base Ingredients
- 1 (8-ounce) container of Cool Whip (thawed)
- 1 package (3.4 ounces) of instant pudding mix (any flavor)
- 1 cup of powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
Optional Ingredients
- Food coloring (optional)
- Sprinkles or colored sugar (optional, for decoration)
Instructions
- Mix the Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the thawed Cool Whip, instant pudding mix, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Use a hand mixer or mix by hand until the mixture is well combined, thick, and creamy.
- Optional Coloring: If desired, add a few drops of food coloring to the mixture and stir until the color is evenly distributed.
- Prepare the Tray: Line a baking sheet or tray with parchment or wax paper to prevent sticking when placing the candies.
- Shape the Candies: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop small portions of the Cool Whip mixture onto the prepared tray, shaping them to your preferred size and shape.
- Decorate: Optionally, sprinkle the candy portions with sprinkles or colored sugar for a festive look.
- Freeze: Place the tray in the freezer and let the candy set for 2-3 hours or until firm to achieve the ideal texture.
- Enjoy: Once frozen, remove the candies from the freezer and enjoy their creamy, soft centers with a frozen exterior.
- Store: Keep any leftover candies in an airtight container in the freezer to maintain their freshness and texture.
Notes
- The candy is best served frozen for a refreshing and creamy texture.
- Use any flavor of instant pudding to customize the taste to your preference.
- Food coloring is optional and can be used to match festive themes or occasions.
- Sprinkles or colored sugar add a decorative touch and a bit of texture.
- Store candies only in the freezer, as they will lose their texture if thawed completely.
