Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon almond extract
- 3.4 ounces instant vanilla pudding mix (such as Jello brand)
- 7 ounces marshmallow fluff
- ⅓ cup rainbow confetti sprinkles
- 4 cups whipped topping, thawed (one 8-ounce container plus 1 cup reserved for garnish)
Crust and Garnish
- 9-inch premade graham cracker crust (or 6-ounce crust)
- 2 tablespoons rainbow confetti sprinkles (for garnish)
Instructions
- Beat cream cheese and extracts: Using a medium-sized mixing bowl and a handheld electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat the softened cream cheese, pure vanilla extract, and almond extract for 1 to 1½ minutes until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Add pudding mix: Sprinkle the instant vanilla pudding mix over the cream cheese mixture and continue mixing for 1 more minute until well combined and smooth.
- Incorporate marshmallow fluff: Add the marshmallow fluff to the bowl and mix just until it is fully incorporated into the creamy mixture, taking care not to overmix.
- Fold in sprinkles: Gently fold in ⅓ cup of the rainbow confetti sprinkles to distribute them evenly throughout the filling without breaking them down.
- Add whipped topping: Carefully fold in the thawed whipped topping until fully combined and the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Assemble and chill: Spread the whipped topping mixture evenly into the premade graham cracker crust. Cover and refrigerate for 8 hours to overnight to allow the pie to set properly.
- Pipe whipped topping decoratively: Just before serving, transfer 1 cup of thawed whipped topping to a decorator’s bag or a quart-size ziplock bag with a corner snipped off. Pipe 8 evenly spaced dollops around the edge of the pie, ensuring each slice gets one dollop. Pipe 1 dollop in the center of the pie.
- Garnish with remaining sprinkles and serve: Sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons of rainbow confetti sprinkles over the top of the pie for a festive finish. Slice the pie into eight servings and serve chilled.
Notes
- Be sure to use softened cream cheese for a smooth and creamy texture.
- Chilling the pie overnight helps it firm up and enhances the flavors.
- You can substitute the premade graham cracker crust with a homemade crust if preferred.
- Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Rainbow confetti sprinkles add a fun visual element and slight texture contrast.
