Description
This 4-ingredient no-bake Cool Whip Candy Recipe transforms simple ingredients into melt-in-your-mouth treats. Easy, delicious, and perfect for any occasion!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (8 ounce) container Cool Whip, thawed
- 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 (3.4 ounce) box instant pudding mix (any flavor)
- 2 cups confectioners’ sugar (powdered sugar), plus more for dusting
Instructions
- **Prepare Your Pan:** Line an 8×8-inch or 9×9-inch baking dish with parchment paper, allowing some overhang on the sides.
- **Combine Wet Ingredients:** In a large mixing bowl, gently fold together the thawed Cool Whip and the entire can of sweetened condensed milk until well combined and smooth.
- **Add Pudding Mix:** Sprinkle the instant pudding mix directly over the Cool Whip and condensed milk mixture. Continue to fold gently until the pudding powder is fully incorporated.
- **Incorporate Confectioners’ Sugar:** Gradually add the 2 cups of confectioners’ sugar to the mixture, folding it in a half-cup at a time until completely blended and the mixture is thick.
- **Press into Pan:** Transfer the thick candy mixture into your prepared baking dish. Use a spatula to press the mixture down firmly and evenly.
- **Chill Time:** Cover the baking dish tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
- **Cut and Serve:** Once thoroughly chilled and firm, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the entire block of candy out of the pan. Place it on a cutting board and use a sharp knife to cut into 1-inch squares.
- **Optional Dusting:** Lightly dust the cut candies with additional confectioners’ sugar just before serving to prevent sticking.
Notes
Ensure Cool Whip is thawed but cold, and use instant pudding mix only. Chilling overnight yields the best results for clean cuts. Experiment with different pudding flavors for variety!
