Pumpkin Patch Pudding
A fun variation on "dirt and worms" pudding that is perfect for Halloween!
Equipment
- Trifle dish
Ingredients
- 2 to 4 cups prepared vanilla pudding, chilled
- 2 to 4 cups prepared chocolate pudding, chilled
- 1 family-sized bag Oreos
- yellow and red food coloring (or orange, if you have it)
- Brack's pumpkins candy
- gummy worms
Instructions
- Place all of the Oreos in a gallon-sized ziplock bag, seal the bag, and crush the Oreos into small pieces.
- Use the food coloring to dye the vanilla pudding orange. The ratio of 6 yellow drops for every 2 red drops works very well. Keep adding food coloring until you are happy with the orange color. (You can skip this step if you would rather not dye the pudding.)
- Pour the prepared vanilla pudding into the trifle dish.
- Sprinkle about half of the crushed Oreos over the vanilla pudding and gently press it into the pudding.
- Pour the chocolate pudding over the vanilla pudding and Oreos.
- Sprinkle the remaining Oreos over the chocolate pudding, gently pressing them into the pudding.
- Decorate the top of the trifle dish with the pumpkin candies and gummy works. (You can also skip this step if you would rather have a Layered Oreo Pudding that isn't pumpkin-themed.)
Notes
- I used this Vanilla Pudding recipe from "Savory Simple." It ended up being a little more than I needed, so you may consider halving the recipe.
- I used this Chocolate Pudding recipe from "Tastes of Lizzy T." I did not add the red food coloring so that it was just a basic chocolate pudding instead of red velvet. I also added half a teaspoon of almond extract to make the flavor a little more interesting.
- This dessert does not need the candies on top - it is great without them too! In that case, it would just be "Layered Oreo Pudding."
- You could also make this in a 9x13 pan.
