Ingredients:
- 1 (8-ounce) container of Cool Whip (thawed)
- 1 package (3.4 ounces) of instant pudding mix (any flavor you prefer)
- 1 cup of powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- Food coloring (optional)
- Sprinkles or colored sugar (optional, for decoration)
Instructions:
- 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 ingredients are well combined and the mixture becomes thick and creamy.
- If you want to add color to your candy, mix in a few drops of food coloring at this stage. Stir until the color is evenly distributed.
- Line a baking sheet or a large tray with parchment paper or wax paper to prevent the candy from sticking.
- Using a spoon or a cookie scoop, drop small portions of the Cool Whip mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Customize the size according to your preference.
- Optionally, decorate the candy by adding sprinkles or colored sugar on top of each portion.
- Place the tray in the freezer and let the candy set for about 2-3 hours or until it’s firm.
- Once the candy is completely frozen and firm, remove it from the freezer and enjoy. The candy should have a soft and creamy center with a frozen exterior.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer to maintain their texture.
