# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • No baking required means you can pull this together in under 20 minutes, even with little hands helping.
  • The contrast between creamy pudding and crunchy Oreo crumble hits different every single time.
  • Kids genuinely get excited about assembling their own desserts, which means less fighting at the table and more genuine smiles.
02 -
  • The crushed Oreos will soften slightly as they sit in the moisture from the pudding, which is actually desirable—it creates a texture somewhere between crunchy and cake-like.
  • Clear cups are genuinely non-negotiable here because the layering is at least 40% of why these are so appealing and Instagram-friendly.
  • If you add mint too far in advance, it wilts; wait until the last possible moment or add it right before serving for maximum freshness and visual pop.
03 -
  • Homemade whipped cream (heavy cream plus a tablespoon of powdered sugar and vanilla) genuinely elevates these from fun to fancy without adding any complexity.
  • If your pudding seems too thin after 5 minutes, you likely didn't whisk long enough initially—you can always chill it for 10 minutes and it'll firm up beautifully.
