Ingredients

Filling

  • 8 ounce package of cream cheese, softened
  • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon almond extract
  • 3.4 ounce box of instant vanilla pudding mix (such as Jello brand)
  • 7 ounce container of marshmallow fluff
  • 4 cups whipped topping, thawed (one 8-ounce container plus 1 cup for garnish)
  • ½ cup rainbow confetti sprinkles (divided as ⅓ cup for filling, 2 tablespoons for topping)

Crust

  • 1 premade graham cracker crust (9 inch or 6 ounce)

Instructions

  1. Mix Cream Cheese and Extracts: Using a medium-sized mixing bowl and a handheld electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat the cream cheese, vanilla extract, and almond extract for 1 to 1½ minutes until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  2. Add Pudding Mix: Sprinkle the instant vanilla pudding mix over the cream cheese mixture and continue mixing for an additional 1 minute until fully incorporated and smooth.
  3. Incorporate Marshmallow Fluff: Add the marshmallow fluff to the mixture and mix just until combined, being careful not to overmix.
  4. Fold in Sprinkles: Gently fold in ⅓ cup of rainbow confetti sprinkles to add both texture and a colorful pop throughout the filling.
  5. Fold in Whipped Topping: Carefully fold in the thawed whipped topping (Cool Whip) to maintain a light and fluffy texture.
  6. Spread Filling into Crust and Chill: Spread the prepared filling evenly into the premade graham cracker crust. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for 8 hours or overnight to let the pie set properly.
  7. Pipe Whipped Topping Dollops: Just before serving, place 1 cup of thawed whipped topping into a decorator’s bag or a resealable plastic bag with a small corner cut off. Pipe 8 dollops around the pie edge so each slice gets one, then pipe a single dollop in the center.
  8. Add Final Sprinkles and Serve: Sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons of rainbow confetti sprinkles over the pie top. Slice into 8 servings and enjoy your festive birthday pie!

  • This pie is great made a day ahead to allow flavors to meld.
  • Use a good quality premade graham cracker crust or make your own for the best flavor.
