No-Bake “Grinch Pie”


  • Author: Linda

Description

A bright, festive no-bake pie with a creamy green pudding filling, chocolatey crust, and fluffy whipped topping — perfect for holiday parties, kids’ treat nights, or anytime you want a fun, easy dessert that feels seasonal and special.


Ingredients

Scale

Base / Crust

  • 1 pre-made Oreo pie crust (store-bought)

Filling

  • 1 box white chocolate pudding mix (about 3.9 oz)

  • 2 cups cold milk (2% works well)

  • 23 drops neon green gel food coloring

  • 12 drops regular green food coloring

Topping & Decoration

  • ½ container whipped topping (e.g. Cool-Whip)

  • ½ cup green sanding sugar (optional — for sparkle)

  • ½ cup mini red heart sprinkles

  • ½ cup large red heart sprinkles (or drop one large heart on each slice)


Instructions

  • Prepare the filling
    In a large bowl, whisk together the pudding mix and cold milk until smooth and slightly thickened. Add the neon green gel food coloring (and a drop or two of regular green, if desired) and stir until fully combined and evenly colored.

  • Fill the crust
    Pour the green pudding mixture into the Oreo pie crust. Smooth the surface with a spatula so it’s even.

  • Chill to set
    Place the pie in the refrigerator and chill for at least 3 hours (or until the filling is firm and set).

  • Add whipped topping
    Once chilled, spread the whipped topping evenly over the green pudding layer.

  • Decorate
    Sprinkle the green sanding sugar and mini red heart sprinkles across the top. Optionally — place one large red heart sprinkle in the center of the pie, or one on each slice when serving.

  • Serve
    Use a warm knife for clean slices, serve chilled, and enjoy the festive dessert!

Notes

  • Use cold milk so the pudding sets properly.

  • Gel food coloring gives the brightest “Grinch-green” without thinning the pudding.

  • Chill the pie thoroughly before adding topping — helps everything stay firm.

  • For cleaner slices, run the knife under hot water, wipe dry, then slice.

  • Feel free to get creative: swap sprinkles, use flavored pudding, or make mini pies in dessert cups for easier serving.
