Ingredients
- 1 cup cold milk (for the pudding mix)
- 1 (8 oz/226 g) container Cool Whip (or homemade whipped cream)
- 1 (8 oz/226 g) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 (3.4 oz/96 g) box instant cheesecake pudding mix (or vanilla pudding mix)
- ½ cup powdered sugar (optional, for extra sweetness)
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup mini marshmallows (optional, for added fluffiness)
- ¼ cup crushed graham crackers or shortbread cookies (for crunch, optional)
- Green food coloring (a few drops for a festive touch!)
- Green sprinkles or shamrock candies (for decoration, optional)
Instructions
- Pudding Preparation: Whisk cheesecake pudding mix with cold milk until achieving a thick, creamy consistency using an electric mixer.
- Cream Cheese Blend: Beat cream cheese until silky, then integrate vanilla extract and powdered sugar, mixing until achieving a velvety smooth texture.
- Mixture Fusion: Delicately fold whipped topping into the cream cheese blend, incorporating the prepared pudding mixture to create a harmonious base.
- Color and Texture Enhancement: Methodically stir green food coloring throughout the mixture, then gently fold in miniature marshmallows and crushed graham crackers for added dimension and crunch.
- Assembly and Chilling: Transfer the completed mixture into a serving container, smoothing the top for an elegant presentation, and refrigerate for at least one hour to allow flavors to meld and texture to set.
- Final Flourish: Before serving, garnish with additional whipped cream, festive green sprinkles, or shamrock-themed candies to create a whimsical and visually appealing dessert.
Notes
- Prevent Lumps: Whisk pudding mix and milk slowly and consistently to avoid clumping, ensuring a smooth base for your cheesecake fluff.
- Temperature Matters: Allow cream cheese to soften at room temperature before mixing, which helps create a silky, lump-free texture.
- Color Control: Add green food coloring gradually, mixing thoroughly between additions to achieve the desired shade without streaking.
- Fold Gently: Use a spatula with light, sweeping motions when incorporating whipped topping and marshmallows to maintain the dessert’s airy, delicate structure.
