Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 container (8 ounces / 226 grams) Cool Whip, thawed
- 1 package (3.4 ounces / 96 grams) instant pudding mix (any flavor)
Flavoring and Optional Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Decoration Ingredients:
- Food coloring (optional)
- Sprinkles or colored sugar (optional)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whip together thawed Cool Whip, instant pudding mix, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture becomes smooth and luxurious, using a hand mixer or vigorous stirring.
- Enhance the visual appeal by incorporating a few drops of food coloring, ensuring even distribution throughout the creamy base.
- Prepare a baking sheet by carefully lining it with parchment paper, creating a non-stick surface for your sweet treats.
- Utilize a spoon or cookie scoop to delicately portion the whipped mixture onto the prepared sheet, crafting bite-sized morsels with gentle, consistent shaping.
- Optional: Sprinkle decorative elements like colorful sugar crystals or festive sprinkles atop each candy piece for added texture and visual excitement.
- Transfer the baking sheet to the freezer, allowing the candies to solidify for approximately 2-3 hours until they reach a firm, ice-crystal-like consistency.
- Once completely frozen, extract the candies from the freezer and indulge immediately. For future enjoyment, preserve in an airtight freezer container to maintain their delicate texture and prevent freezer burn.
Notes
- Whip the mixture thoroughly to ensure a smooth, creamy texture without lumps.
- Choose pudding flavors strategically to create unique taste combinations like chocolate, vanilla, or strawberry.
- Experiment with different decorative toppings such as crushed nuts, mini chocolate chips, or coconut flakes for added crunch and visual appeal.
- For dietary modifications, use sugar-free pudding mix and low-fat Cool Whip to reduce calories and create a lighter version of the treat.
