Step 1: Make the Crust

In a mixing bowl, stir together crushed graham crackers, melted butter, and sugar until fully combined.

Press the mixture into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish.

Place in the fridge for 15–20 minutes to set.

Step 2: Prepare the Mousse Base

In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth and creamy.

Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract; beat again until fluffy.

Step 3: Make the Pudding Layer

In a separate bowl, whisk together instant vanilla pudding mix and cold milk.

Allow it to thicken for 2–3 minutes.

Step 4: Combine & Color

Add the pudding mixture into the cream cheese mixture.

Beat until smooth.

Add green food coloring until you reach the perfect “Grinch green.”

Step 5: Add Whipped Cream

Gently fold 1 cup of whipped topping into the green mousse mixture.

Mix until smooth, airy, and evenly colored—avoid overmixing.

Step 6: Fill the Pie

Spoon the Grinch mousse into your chilled crust.

Smooth the top evenly with a spatula.

Chill for at least 4 hours or until fully set (overnight is best).

Step 7: Decorate

Spread or pipe whipped topping on top.

Add red heart sprinkles for the Grinch theme.

Serving Suggestions
