PSA: Birthday Cake Pie Is The New Birthday Cake

Imagine the joy of birthday cake and the comfort of pie merging into one whimsical creation that is perfect for any celebration. This fun dessert encompasses both with a no-bake cake batter-flavored filling that makes it as easy to assemble as it is to finish in one serving. Feeling indecisive? Need something OTT to celebrate with? This celebratory dessert is for you.

The Crust:

This pie is seriously loaded with all the rainbow colors and flavors you love in classic birthday cake mix, including a lot of sprinkles to ensure that every single bite is just as celebratory as the next. The adventure begins with a traditional buttery, flaky pie crust that gets dressed up for the special occasion with rainbow sprinkles. In a pinch for time? Try making the dough up to a week ahead of time and storing it in the fridge or freezer until the special day.

The Filling:

Once the crust is cooked and cooled, it's time to dive into the heart of this magical creation—the filling. By carefully folding cake batter-flavored whipped cream into luscious vanilla pudding, you get a silky-smooth, fluffy, and irresistible mousse. When combined with more sprinkles on top, you'll be transported back to childhood memories of licking the cake batter off the spoon.

Storage:

By letting the pie chill in the fridge for a couple of hours, the filling will have time to set up nice and firm so it holds its shape while slicing. The entire dessert can be assembled and left to rest int the fridge until you're ready to serve, up to 24 hours. To store, transfer to an airtight container and keep in the fridge.
