Pot Pie Pasta is a delightful no-bake dessert that combines the creamy texture of Cool Whip with instant pudding and the sweet crunch of chopped Reese’s peanut butter cups.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 (8 oz) tub Cool Whip, thawed
  • 1 (3.4 oz) box instant chocolate or peanut butter pudding mix
  • ½ to ⅔ cup cold milk
  • 6–8 Reese’s peanut butter cups, chopped
  • Optional: 1–2 tbsp peanut butter or cocoa powder

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pudding: In a mixing bowl, whisk the instant pudding mix with cold milk until it becomes slightly thickened, which usually takes about 2 minutes of stirring to activate the thickening agents.
  2. Fold in Cool Whip: Gently fold the thawed Cool Whip into the pudding mixture until fully combined and fluffy. This step lightens the texture and adds creaminess to the dessert.
  3. Add chopped Reese’s cups: Stir in the chopped Reese’s peanut butter cups, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture for bursts of peanut butter and chocolate in every bite.
  4. Add optional swirl: Drizzle peanut butter or sprinkle cocoa powder over the mixture and gently fold to create a swirl effect, enhancing both flavor and appearance.
  5. Chill before serving: Cover and refrigerate the mixture for at least 30 minutes to set and chill, allowing the flavors to meld together and the dessert to firm up slightly for easier serving.

Notes

  • Use instant pudding mix for quick preparation—no cooking required.
  • Adjust milk quantity within the given range for desired pudding thickness.
  • For a stronger peanut butter flavor, add the optional peanut butter swirl.
  • Keep refrigerated until ready to serve; best consumed within 2 days.
  • For variation, substitute Reese’s cups with other chocolate candy pieces or nuts.
