Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 8 ounce package cream cheese, softened
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon almond extract
- 3.4 ounce box instant vanilla pudding mix (e.g., Jello brand)
- 7 ounce container marshmallow fluff
- 4 cups whipped topping, thawed (one 8-ounce container + 1 cup for garnish)
- ½ cup rainbow confetti sprinkles (divided: ⅓ cup for filling, 2 tablespoons for garnish)
Crust
- 1 premade graham cracker crust (9 inch or 6 ounce)
Instructions
- Beat cream cheese and extracts: In a medium mixing bowl, use a handheld electric mixer on medium-high speed to beat the softened cream cheese with vanilla and almond extracts for 1 to 1½ minutes until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Add pudding mix: Sprinkle the instant vanilla pudding mix over the cream cheese mixture and continue mixing for 1 more minute until fully incorporated and smooth.
- Incorporate marshmallow fluff: Add the marshmallow fluff and mix just until combined, ensuring it’s fully blended but not overmixed.
- Fold in sprinkles: Gently fold in ⅓ cup of the rainbow confetti sprinkles to evenly distribute them throughout the filling without crushing them.
- Fold in whipped topping: Carefully fold the thawed whipped topping into the filling mixture until well combined, preserving the airy texture.
- Fill the crust and chill: Spread the mixture evenly into the pre-made graham cracker crust. Cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or overnight, to allow the pie to set properly.
- Decorate with whipped topping: Just before serving, transfer 1 cup of thawed whipped topping into a piping bag or a quart-size ziplock with a corner cut off. Pipe 8 evenly spaced dollops around the pie edge, one for each slice, and pipe an additional dollop in the center.
- Garnish with sprinkles and serve: Sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons of rainbow confetti sprinkles over the top of the pie. Slice into eight servings and enjoy.
Notes
- This is a no-bake pie and requires chilling overnight to set the filling.
- Use thawed whipped topping for easier folding and decorating.
- You can substitute the instant vanilla pudding with other flavors, but vanilla is recommended to keep the classic birthday pie taste.
- Make sure cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in the filling.
- The sprinkles add visual fun and texture—reserve some for garnish to maintain bright colors.
