Cool Whip Candy Ingredients
- 1 (8-ounce) container of Cool Whip, thawed
- 1 package (3.4 ounces) instant pudding mix, any flavor
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 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 the candies from sticking.
- Shape the Candies: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop small portions of the Cool Whip mixture onto the prepared tray, forming them into your preferred shape and size.
- Decorate: Optionally, sprinkle the candies with sprinkles or colored sugar to add a festive touch.
- Freeze: Place the tray into the freezer and allow the candies to set for 2-3 hours, or until they are firm.
- Enjoy: Once frozen, remove the candies from the freezer and enjoy their creamy, soft centers with a frozen exterior.
- Store: Store any leftover candies in an airtight container in the freezer to keep them fresh.
Notes
- Make sure the Cool Whip is fully thawed before mixing for best consistency.
- If you prefer a firmer candy, freeze for a longer time before serving.
- Use different instant pudding flavors to create a variety of candy tastes.
- Sprinkles or colored sugar add a fun texture and appearance, but are optional.
- Keep candies frozen until ready to serve to maintain their shape and texture.
