Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 (8 ounces / 226 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 1 (8 ounces / 226 grams) container Cool Whip
- 1 graham cracker pie crust
Sweeteners and Flavoring:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Liquid Ingredient:
- 1/2 cup (4 ounces / 120 milliliters) milk
Instructions
- Soften cream cheese at room temperature for smooth blending, ensuring no lumps remain when whisking in a large mixing bowl.
- Incorporate powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk into the cream cheese, stirring continuously until the mixture transforms into a silky, uniform consistency.
- Delicately introduce Cool Whip into the cream cheese blend, using gentle folding techniques to maintain the airy texture and prevent deflating the whipped topping.
- Transfer the velvety filling into the prepared graham cracker crust, carefully spreading the mixture to create an even, glossy surface that reaches the edges of the pie shell.
- Refrigerate the assembled pie for a minimum of 3 hours, allowing the filling to set completely and develop a firm, yet creamy texture.
- When ready to serve, remove the pie from the refrigerator and slice into clean, precise portions using a chilled knife for neat presentation.
- Garnish with additional Cool Whip, fresh berries, or a light dusting of powdered sugar if desired, just before presenting the dessert to enhance its visual appeal.
Notes
- Soften cream cheese at room temperature for smooth, lump-free mixing to ensure a silky texture.
- Use full-fat cream cheese for richer flavor and more stable filling consistency.
- Gently fold Cool Whip to maintain its airy volume and prevent deflating the mixture.
- Chill pie thoroughly to allow flavors to meld and achieve perfect slicing texture.
