In a mixing bowl, combine the thawed Cool Whip, instant pudding mix, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. You can use a hand mixer or mix by hand until everything is well combined and the mixture becomes thick and creamy.
Optional Coloring:
If you want to add color to your candy, mix in a few drops of food coloring and stir until the color is evenly distributed.
Prepare the Tray:
Line a baking sheet or tray with parchment or wax paper to prevent the candy from sticking.
Shape the Candies:
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop small portions of the Cool Whip mixture onto the prepared tray. Shape them as big or small as you prefer.
Decorate:
Optionally, decorate the candies by sprinkling them with sprinkles or colored sugar.
Freeze:
Place the tray in the freezer and let the candy set for 2-3 hours, or until firm.
Enjoy:
Once the candy is frozen, remove from the freezer and enjoy! The candy will have a soft, creamy center with a frozen exterior.
Store:
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer to keep them firm.
