Ingredients

Pudding Mix

2 packages instant pudding mix chocolate or vanilla flavor, or any preferred flavor
4 cups milk cold, dairy or non-dairy alternative like almond or oat milk

Whipped Topping

1 container (8 oz) whipped topping thawed, or freshly whipped cream

Cookie Dirt Layer

1 package chocolate sandwich cookies finely crushed, like Oreos

Decorations

1 bag gummy eyeball candy large edible gummy eyeballs or large candy eyeballs
as needed red gel icing or writing gel for drawing bloodshot veins on eyeballs
as needed clear plastic cups individual serving cups, 5-7 ounce size

Equipment

Mixing bowl
- Whisk
Rolling Pin
Plastic Cups (5-7 oz)
Piping Bag (optional)

Method

Crush chocolate sandwich cookies finely using a rolling pin or food processor, reserving about ¼ cup for garnish. Divide the rest among clear plastic cups to form a 'dirt' layer.
In a large bowl, whisk together the instant pudding mixes with cold milk for about 2 minutes until it starts to thicken. If using two flavors, mix separately or layer them later.
Carefully fold in half of the thawed whipped topping into the pudding mixture to enhance creaminess without deflating it.
Spoon or pipe the pudding evenly atop the cookie crumb layers in each cup, filling nearly to the top. Gently tap the cups to settle the pudding.
Top each cup with the remaining whipped topping, using a spoon for rustic look or a piping bag for a swirl effect.
Place one or two gummy eyeballs on top of the whipped topping in each cup, positioning them to appear as eyes peering out.
Use red gel icing to carefully draw bloodshot veins radiating from the pupils of the gummy eyeballs to heighten the creepy effect.
Sprinkle the reserved crushed cookie crumbs around the base of the eyeballs for extra texture and 'dirt' effect. Refrigerate the pudding cups for at least 30 minutes to allow them to set and chill.
Serve chilled and enjoy the spooky, creamy delight with your guests.
