How to Make This Cool Whip Pie Recipe
PRO TIP: This recipe needs to chill in the fridge for about 8 hours before it is ready to serve. This is a great recipe to make the day before so that it is ready when you need it.
STEP ONE: Using a medium-size mixing bowl and a handheld mixer on medium-high speed, beat the cream cheese for 1 to 1 ½ minutes, until smooth.
PRO TIP: Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature so that you don’t have lumps in your creamy filling.

STEP TWO: Sprinkle in the pudding mix and continue mixing for another 30 seconds to 1 minute, until well combined.

STEP THREE: Add the marshmallow fluff and continue mixing just until incorporated.

STEP FOUR: Fold in the thawed cool whip.

STEP FIVE: Evenly spread the cool whip mixture into the pre-made crust, and chill in the refrigerator for 8 hours.
PRO TIP: If your pie crust is in a foil tin, we’d recommend sitting it inside a glass pie plate to give it a bit more stability.
STEP SIX: Just before slicing, add the ½ cup thawed cool whip to the center of the pie. Slice and serve immediately.
