Ingredients
Scale
Dessert Base
- 1 box Instant Vanilla Pudding Mix (3.3 oz)
- 2 cups Milk
- 16 oz Cool Whip
Cookie Crumb Topping
- 25 Golden Oreo Cookies
Decorations
- 12 Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes
- Christmas Sprinkles
Instructions
- Prepare the pudding: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and 2 cups of milk until smooth. Refrigerate for about 10 minutes or until the pudding is set.
- Fold in the Cool Whip: Gently fold 16 oz of Cool Whip into the chilled pudding mixture until fully combined. Cover and refrigerate for an additional 20 minutes to let the mixture chill and thicken.
- Crush the Oreos: While the pudding mixture chills, place 25 Golden Oreo cookies in a food processor or blender and pulse until the cookies are crushed into fine crumbs.
- Assemble the cups: Fill small serving cups approximately one-third full with the pudding mixture.
- Add cookie layers: Sprinkle a layer of the crushed Oreo crumbs on top of the pudding in each cup.
- Repeat layering: Continue layering the pudding mixture and crushed Oreos in the cups, ending with a top layer of pudding to resemble snow.
- Decorate and serve: Finish each cup by decorating with Christmas sprinkles and a Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cake. Serve chilled and enjoy!
Notes
- For best texture, cool the pudding mixture well before assembling the cups.
- Golden Oreos are used here to provide a lighter color contrast resembling dirt; regular Oreos can be used for a darker effect.
- You can substitute Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes with any small holiday-themed snack cakes or cookies.
- Prepare the dessert a few hours ahead to allow the layers to set properly.
- Use clear cups for an attractive layered presentation.
