Ingredients

You will need some super simple ingredients, most of which you may already have at home!

  • milk
  • vanilla pudding mix
  • Oreos

  • chocolate pudding mix
  • sugar cookies
  • candy pearls

You can use store bought or home made sugar cookies. If you have kids who want to make homemade cookies but that seems overwhelming, buy the refrigerated cookie dough as a compromise.

How to make this

  • Mix the vanilla pudding powder with the milk. Chill.
  • Add crushed Oreos and mix.
  • Then add Cool Whip and chocolate pudding mix and mix well. Chill.
  • Pipe onto sugar cookies and decorate with candy pearls.

Top Tips

If you don’t have a piping bag and piping tip, you can use a ziploc bag and cut off a small piece of one of the bottom corners of the bag.

A clean pair of tweezers can be helpful to place individual pearls nicely without getting your hands messy.

Top Tips for cooking with kids

Crushing the Oreos is a great task for kids! If you are worried about the bag breaking from over enthusiastic crushers, you can always put the first bag into a second bag.

If you have multiple children, consider having a different child help with each stage- making the vanilla pudding and crushing the Oreos, adding the Oreos, cool whip, and chocolate pudding, and piping and decorating the mousse.
