Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 (8 ounces / 226 grams) container Cool Whip, thawed
- 1 package (3.4 ounces / 96 grams) instant pudding mix
- 1 cup (120 grams) powdered sugar
Flavoring Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) vanilla extract
Decoration Ingredients:
- Food coloring (optional)
- Sprinkles or colored sugar (optional)
Instructions
- In a spacious mixing vessel, thoroughly blend thawed whipped topping, instant pudding powder, confectioners’ sugar, and pure vanilla essence using an electric mixer or vigorous hand whisking until achieving a luxurious, velvety consistency.
- For visual appeal, incorporate a few strategic drops of food coloring, gently stirring to create a uniform chromatic effect throughout the mixture.
- Prepare a large flat tray by meticulously lining it with parchment paper, ensuring complete surface coverage to prevent potential adhesion.
- Utilize a cookie scoop or tablespoon to artfully deposit dollops of the creamy mixture onto the prepared surface, sculpting each portion into elegant rounded shapes.
- Enhance the visual presentation by delicately sprinkling decorative elements like colorful sugar crystals or festive confetti-style toppings across each individual candy portion.
- Transfer the tray into the freezer’s consistent 0°F environment, allowing the candies to solidify and set for approximately 2-3 hours until they reach a perfect frozen state.
- Once completely solidified, extract the tray from the freezer and serve immediately. Preserve any remaining delicacies in a sealed container within the freezer to maintain their pristine texture and flavor profile.
Notes
- Customize flavor by swapping pudding mix types like chocolate, pistachio, or butterscotch for unique taste variations.
- Keep mixture chilled while working to maintain consistency and prevent melting during shaping.
- For dietary modifications, use sugar-free pudding mix and low-fat Cool Whip to reduce calorie content.
- Consider rolling candy portions in crushed nuts, coconut flakes, or mini chocolate chips for added texture and flavor complexity.
