How to Make No Bake Grinch Pie
Ingredients:

- 1 box (110 g) white chocolate instant pudding mix
- 480 ml cold 2% milk
- 120 g whipped topping (Cool Whip), divided
- 2–3 drops neon green gel food coloring
- 1–2 drops green food coloring
- 70 g green sanding sugar
- 70 g mini red heart-shaped sprinkles

Directions:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the white chocolate pudding mix, cold 2% milk, neon green gel food coloring, and green food coloring. Beat together using a whisk or hand mixer for 2–3 minutes, or until the mixture thickens and soft peaks form.
- Transfer the prepared pudding mixture into the Oreo cookie pie crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Place the pie in the refrigerator and chill for at least 3 hours to allow the filling to set firmly.

- Slice the pie and, just before serving, place one large red heart-shaped sprinkle on each slice as a decorative garnish.
