Description
Delightful no-bake mint treats with layered chocolate and mint pudding that bring joy to any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box (3.4 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix
- 1 box (3.4 oz) instant mint pudding mix (or vanilla pudding mix)
- 4 cups cold whole milk, divided
- 1/2 tsp peppermint extract (if using vanilla pudding)
- Green gel food coloring
- 1 cup whipped topping or freshly whipped cream
- Chocolate shavings or crushed mint candies, for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare your clear 8-ounce dessert cups and wipe the inside clean for a neat presentation.
- Whisk the chocolate pudding mix with 2 cups of cold milk for 2 minutes until smooth. Let it sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
- In another bowl, whisk the mint (or vanilla) pudding mix with the remaining 2 cups of cold milk. If you’re using vanilla pudding, add the peppermint extract and tint with green gel food coloring. Let this mixture thicken for 5 minutes.
- Transfer both types of pudding to piping bags. Pipe a layer of chocolate pudding into each cup, followed by a layer of mint pudding. Repeat this for several layers until you fill the cups.
- Refrigerate the pudding cups for at least 30 minutes to set.
- Just before serving, top each cup with whipped cream and garnish with chocolate shavings or crushed mint candies to enhance the festive flair.
