💚🎄 A festive, fluffy Grinch-green mousse pie with a bold red cookie crust and adorable heart sprinkles — fun, creamy, and guaranteed to steal the show at any holiday gathering! ✨

Ingredients

Scale
  • Red Cookie Crust
  • 2 cups red cookie crumbs (red velvet Oreos without filling or any red sandwich cookie)
  • 5 tablespoons melted butter

Grinch Mousse Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup whipped topping (Cool Whip)
  • 1 cup heavy cream, whipped to soft peaks
  • ½ cup small red heart sprinkles
  • ¼ cup green nonpareils or green sprinkles

Grinch Green Piped Topping

  • 1½ cups whipped topping or stabilized whipped cream
  • 2–3 drops neon green gel food coloring
  • 1–2 drops regular green gel dye
  • Extra red heart sprinkles

Instructions

1. Crush the red cookies into fine crumbs, mix with melted butter, and press firmly into a pie dish. Chill to set.

2. Beat cream cheese until smooth and fluffy. Add powdered sugar and vanilla. Fold in Cool Whip, then fold in whipped heavy cream to create a thick mousse.

3. Stir in red heart sprinkles and green nonpareils. Spread the mousse evenly into the chilled crust.

4. Refrigerate until the mousse is firm enough to slice cleanly. Overnight is ideal.

5. Tint whipped topping with neon and regular green gel coloring until it becomes bright Grinch-green. Pipe tall swirls on top.

6. Add extra small and medium red heart sprinkles for that perfect Whoville touch.

7. Use a hot knife for clean edges. Serve chilled and enjoy!

Notes

For the brightest Grinch-green color, always use gel food coloring, not liquid.

Chill the pie overnight for the cleanest slices and firmest mousse texture.

You can swap Cool Whip with stabilized whipped cream for a richer, homemade flavor.

Use red heart sprinkles of mixed sizes to match the iconic Grinch look.

Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
