Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 (8 oz) container whipped topping (Cool Whip)
- 1 package (5.1 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt for a lighter version)
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup blue food coloring (or gel for more intense color)
- 15-20 chocolate chip cookies (such as Chips Ahoy or Oreo)
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Fluff Base: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and milk until it begins to thicken. Then stir in the sour cream (or Greek yogurt), powdered sugar, and blue food coloring, mixing until the mixture is smooth and evenly colored.
- Fold in the Whipped Topping: Gently fold in the whipped topping (Cool Whip) into the pudding mixture until smooth and fluffy. Take care not to deflate the whipped topping to maintain the airy texture.
- Crush the Cookies: Crush the chocolate chip cookies into medium-sized pieces by hand or with a food processor. The cookie pieces should be small enough to blend but large enough to retain some texture.
- Combine the Cookies and Fluff: Stir the crushed cookies gently into the fluff mixture, making sure not to crush the cookie pieces further to preserve crunch and texture.
- Chill: Cover the bowl tightly and refrigerate the Cookie Monster Fluff for at least 2 hours. This chilling allows the flavors to meld and the fluff to set to the right consistency.
- Serve: Before serving, sprinkle mini chocolate chips on top as a garnish. Serve chilled and enjoy this playful, cookie-filled dessert!
Notes
- Substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream to reduce fat and increase protein.
- Use gel food coloring for a more vibrant blue color without adding extra liquid.
- You can adjust the amount of cookies to suit your texture preference.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free chocolate chip cookies.
