Instructions
Preparation of Pudding Layers
- In a bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix with milk until thick. Let it sit for 5 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, mix the pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice into the vanilla pudding until well combined.
- Prepare the chocolate pudding by following the same method, or stir the premade chocolate pudding if using.
Crushing Oreos
- Place the Oreo cookies in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin or use a food processor for finer crumbs.
- Leave some larger chunks for more texture.
Make Green Coconut Grass
- In a small bowl, mix shredded coconut with 1-2 drops of green food coloring until evenly colored. Adjust color if necessary.
Assemble the Cups
- In clear cups, layer a spoonful of the pumpkin pudding first, followed by a layer of chocolate pudding.
- Next, add the crushed Oreo cookies on top. Optionally, sprinkle the colored coconut grass and top with candy pumpkins and sprinkles.
Notes
Chill layers if possible for better stacking. Assemble on a tray for easy handling, and store in the fridge for up to 3 days.
