How to Make Peep Pudding Dirt Cups
First things first, prep those adorable 8-ounce cups with a layer of crushed Oreos – about 1 ½ tablespoons should do the trick. Set them aside, because we’ve got some pudding magic to attend to! In a large bowl, whisk together that vanilla pudding mix and 2 cups of cold whole milk using a hand mixer. Whisk it like you mean it for about 2 minutes!
Now it’s time to add in the fun stuff – a whole container of Cool Whip! Mix it in with a spatula until it’s smooth and creamy. Here comes the fun part – layering! Add two heaping spoonfuls of that amazing pudding mixture to each cup, followed by another layer of Oreo crumbs (about 1 ½ tablespoons). Repeat that process two more times, finishing it off with a smaller layer of Oreo crumbs on top (about 1 tablespoon).
Pop those babies in the fridge for at least an hour to chill out! The Grand Finale – Mini Eggs and Peeps! The final touch? Adding those adorable mini eggs (at least 3, but let’s be real, you can never have too many!) and a Peeps Marshmallow Treat (because, bunny!). Now your Oreo pudding cups are ready to impress!
So, you’ve got questions about these adorable Oreo pudding cups? Well, let’s dive in! First, do you have to use vanilla pudding? Absolutely not! If you’re a chocolate lover, go ahead and use chocolate pudding instead. Feeling adventurous? Try banana pudding or any other flavor that tickles your fancy! And what about those cute Peeps on top? If you’re not a fan or can’t get your hands on them, don’t worry! You can use orange chocolate melts to create chocolate-covered strawberries that look like little carrots – perfect for keeping that spring or Easter theme alive!
