Tips and variations for making this no-bake melted snowman lush cake:
● Any vanilla cookie can be used, it doesn’t have to be golden Oreo.
● While Cool Whip was used to make this cake, any thawed whipped topping brand will work.
● While jello instant pudding was used to make this cake, any brand of instant pudding will work.
● Choose any color you like for the snowman’s scarf. Just be sure to place it between the snowman’s head and the top of the cake to achieve the melted snowman look.
● Regular marshmallows are used to make the snowmen. If you were to double this recipe in a larger pan, you could use a large marshmallow. Do not use mini marshmallows as they would be lost in the cake.
● Instead of orange frosting for the snowman’s nose, you can use an edible orange food pen.
● If you want to use black fondant to make a snowman’s hat, you can.
● Cover the dessert dish with plastic wrap or aluminum foil after serving to prevent air exposure. Store it in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
● The dessert can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. However, note that the whipped cream topping may lose some of its fluffiness over time.
● For longer storage, consider freezing individual portions in airtight containers. Ensure the dessert is well wrapped to prevent freezer burn. Consume within 1-2 months for the best quality.
● When ready to enjoy a frozen portion, move it to the refrigerator and allow it to thaw for several hours or overnight. The texture of the whipped cream may be slightly different after freezing and thawing, but the flavors will remain delightful. Remember that while the texture of the Cool Whip may change with refrigeration or freezing, the delicious flavors and charm of the Melted Snowman Lush Dessert remain intact.
