Ingredients

1 pre-made chocolate cookie pie crust (9-inch)

1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix

1 cup cold milk

8 oz cream cheese, softened

8 oz whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed

Green food coloring

Optional: 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract

Whipped cream or additional whipped topping for garnish

Red candy discs or red M&M’s for decoration

Instructions

1. Beat the softened cream cheese in a large mixing bowl until smooth and creamy.

2. Add the instant vanilla pudding mix and cold milk. Beat until the mixture thickens.

3. Mix in green food coloring and optional vanilla extract. Stir until evenly colored.

4. Gently fold in the whipped topping with a spatula until fluffy and well combined.

5. Spoon the filling into the prepared crust and smooth the top.

6. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.

7. Just before serving, decorate with whipped cream and red candies.

Notes

For smooth texture, make sure the cream cheese is fully softened before mixing.

Chill the pie long enough so it sets completely for clean slices.

Decorate just before serving to keep the toppings fresh.
