🍰 How to Make No-Bake Grinch Pie (Step-by-Step)
Step 1 – Make the Vibrant Red Crust
-
Crush the cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or rolling pin.
-
Mix the crumbs with melted butter until fully coated.
-
Press the mixture firmly into a pie dish, forming an even crust.
-
Place the crust in the freezer for 10 minutes to set.
Tip: Press firmly with the back of a spoon to prevent crumbling when slicing.
Step 2 – Prepare the Creamy Grinch Filling
-
In a mixing bowl, combine the white chocolate pudding mix with cold milk.
-
Whisk until thickened, about 2 minutes.
-
Fold in Cool Whip gently to create a fluffy texture.
-
Optional: Add 1–2 drops of green food coloring and swirl lightly — do not overmix if you want a marble effect.
Step 3 – Assemble the Pie
-
Pour the filling into the prepared red crust.
-
Smooth the top with a spatula.
-
Pipe decorative green whipped topping around the edges or on top.
-
Add red and green heart sprinkles generously.
This is what gives the pie that iconic “Grinch-themed” Christmas look!
Step 4 – Chill Before Serving
Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or overnight if possible.
This allows the filling to fully set and become perfectly sliceable.
