SAND PUDDING CUPS

Crumbly And Creamy Sand Pudding Cups Are A Tasty Beach Inspired Treat. Enjoy A Quick And Easy Sandy Escape Perfect For Sharing!!

Sand pudding cups are a fun treat for any occasion but are especially fun at Luau’s or parties.

MAKING SAND CUPS

OREO. Begin by smashing up Oreos. I put mine in my food processor and blended until they were crumbs. Set aside.

PUDDING. Mix cream cheese, butter, and powdered sugar with a mixer in a medium bowl. Fold in cool whip until well blended. In a separate bowl mix pudding mix and milk with a whisk. Once combined well, add pudding to the cream cheese mixture.

LAYER + GARNISH. Place a few tablespoons of Oreo crumbs in your cup or small jar. Add some of the creamy mixture (I do this by adding the creamy mixture to a gallon bag and cutting off the corner so it goes in the jar more easily.) Bang down on a washcloth on the table to get all bubbles out. Add a few more tablespoons of Oreo Crumbs. Top off with some more cream mixture and sprinkle on a few more crumbs. Top off with more crumbs and a drink umbrella.

SERVE. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

TIPS + VARIATIONS

Do not remove the cream filling from the Oreos

Add a couple of dark Oreos to the food processor to give a speckled sand look.

Vanilla wafers will work instead of golden Oreos

Not only can you have fun with the serving container, but you can also have fun with your toppings. As mentioned, I used a simple umbrella, but other fun toppings you could include:

Swedish fish
Gum balls aka beach ball
Edible seashells
Teddy Grahams with
- Gummy lifesaver
- Fruit by the Foot towel

I love being able to see the layers of this dessert so I divided it into 8 oz plastic cups. This is a perfect size for individual servings. I think I was able to get 15 cups give or take a few depending on how full you make them.

I have also seen this dessert served in mini sand pails found at hobby lobby, amazon, and oriental trading. You can even use a large sand pail and have a sand shovel for guests to scoop out their own serving. This seriously is such a fun treat!
