Ingredients
  

Puddings
  • 1 box Chocolate pudding mix Feel free to substitute with instant vanilla pudding for a different flavor.
  • 1 box Mint pudding mix Can replace with a few drops of mint extract mixed into vanilla pudding.
Topping
  • 1 cup Whipped cream Use store-bought or homemade; coconut whipped cream is a great dairy-free alternative.
  • to taste Chocolate shavings or mint candies Adds an extra crunch and festive appearance; optional sprinkles can be used.

Equipment

  • mixing bowls
  • whisk
  • clear dessert cups
  • Plastic wrap

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In separate bowls, whisk together the chocolate pudding mix with the appropriate amount of milk as indicated on the package. Do the same with the mint pudding mix. Stir well for about two minutes until both mixtures are smooth and creamy, then set them aside for about five minutes to allow them to thicken perfectly.
  2. Grab clear cups or dessert glasses for a festive display. Start by spooning a layer of chocolate pudding into the bottom of each cup, filling it about one-third full. Gently tap the cups on the counter to level the pudding, ensuring a smooth base. Follow this with a layer of mint pudding, filling it to about two-thirds full.
  3. Continue the layering process by adding another layer of chocolate pudding on top of the mint layer, completing the cup to about three-quarters full. Ensure even distribution by tapping the cups again gently. Finish off the layering with a final mint pudding layer, creating a beautiful contrast of colors.
  4. Once all the cups are filled with pudding layers, cover them securely with plastic wrap. Place the covered cups in the refrigerator and chill for at least 30 minutes.
  5. Before serving, remove the cups from the refrigerator and uncover them. Top each cup generously with a dollop of whipped cream. For added flair, sprinkle chocolate shavings or mint candies on top.
