Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 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

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowls
  • Whisk
  • piping bags or zip-top bags
  • clear dessert cups

Method
 

  1. Prepare clear 8-ounce dessert cups and wipe the inside clean for neat presentation.
  2. Whisk the chocolate pudding mix with 2 cups of cold milk for 2 minutes until smooth. Let sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
  3. Whisk the mint (or vanilla) pudding mix with 2 cups of cold milk. Add peppermint extract if needed and tint with green gel food coloring. Let thicken for 5 minutes.
  4. Transfer puddings to piping bags. Pipe a layer of chocolate pudding into each cup, followed by mint pudding. Repeat for multiple layers.
  5. Refrigerate pudding cups for at least 30 minutes to set.
  6. Top with whipped cream and garnish with chocolate shavings or mint candies just before serving.

Notes

For the cleanest layers, pipe the pudding instead of spooning it into the cups. Always use instant pudding and very cold whole milk to ensure proper thickness and structure.
