Ingredients
- For the Crust:
- 1 1/2 cups crushed golden Oreos or vanilla wafers
- 1/4 lb 1/2 stick unsalted butter, melted
- For the Filling:
- 1 3.4 oz package instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1 1/2 cups cold milk
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract optional, for that birthday cake flavor
- 1/2 cup rainbow sprinkles divided
- 1 1/2 cups whipped topping like Cool Whip
- 1/2 cup crushed cake mix yellow or white (optional but adds that classic “birthday cake” taste)
- For the Topping:
- More whipped topping
- Sprinkles or crushed cookies
- Birthday candles optional, but fun!
Instructions
- Make the Crust:
- Mix cookie crumbs with melted butter until it resembles wet sand. Press firmly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie pan. Chill in the freezer for 15 minutes while you prepare the filling.
- Prepare the Filling:
- In a bowl, whisk pudding mix, milk, and almond extract for 2 minutes until thickened. Stir in crushed cake mix (if using) and fold in 1/2 cup sprinkles.
- Add Whipped Topping:
- Gently fold in 1 1/2 cups of whipped topping until smooth and creamy.
- Assemble the Pie:
- Pour the filling into the chilled crust and smooth the top. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight) until set.
- Decorate:
- Just before serving, spread extra whipped topping on top. Sprinkle with remaining rainbow sprinkles or crushed cookies. Add candles if it’s a birthday celebration!
Notes
Allow the cake to cool completely before serving or decorating.
