A festive and easy layered pudding dessert resembling candy corn, perfect for Halloween parties. This no-bake treat features creamy pudding layers in iconic orange and yellow colors, topped with whipped cream and candy corn.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box (3.4 oz) vanilla instant pudding mix
  • 2 cups cold milk
  • 1 cup crushed vanilla wafers
  • 1 cup orange gelatin powder
  • 1 cup whipped topping
  • 1/2 teaspoon yellow food coloring (gel-based)
  • 1/4 cup candy corn pieces for garnish

Instructions

  1. Whisk vanilla pudding mix with cold milk until thickened, about 2 minutes. Divide the pudding evenly into two bowls.
  2. In one bowl, stir in the orange gelatin powder until fully dissolved to create the orange layer.
  3. In the other bowl, add yellow food coloring gradually until a bright yellow hue is achieved.
  4. Sprinkle a layer of crushed vanilla wafers at the bottom of clear dessert cups.
  5. Alternate spoonfuls of the orange and yellow pudding mixtures into the cups, creating distinct layers.
  6. Top each cup with a dollop of whipped topping.
  7. Garnish the top of each dessert cup with candy corn pieces.
  8. Chill the candy corn layered pudding cups in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.

Notes

  • Using clear cups is recommended to showcase the colorful layers.
  • Gel food coloring provides better vibrancy than liquid.
  • Adjust the amount of yellow food coloring to achieve your desired shade.
  • For a sugar-free option, use sugar-free pudding mix.
  • Chilling the mixing bowls beforehand can help the pudding set faster.
  • If desired, use graham crackers instead of vanilla wafers or add Halloween sprinkles.
  • A splash of rum can be added for an adult version.
  • These can be made ahead of time without the candy corn garnish and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
