Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 18.7 ounce (530 grams) package mint oreo cookies
- 1 3.3 ounce (93 grams) box instant white chocolate pudding mix
- 2 cups (480 milliliters) whole milk, chilled
- 1 8 ounce (226 grams) tub cool whip, thawed
Decorative Ingredients:
- 6–8 drops green food color
- 8–12 large candy eyeballs
- 8–12 small candy eyeballs
- Bone or skeleton sprinkles
Instructions
- Carefully separate 12 Oreo cookies, keeping the filling intact on one side and setting aside the cookie halves.
- Pulverize the remaining Oreo cookies in a food processor until they resemble fine, crumbly dirt-like texture.
- In a large mixing bowl, vigorously whisk milk, pudding mix, and green food coloring for 1-2 minutes until the mixture thickens and becomes smooth.
- Gently incorporate Cool Whip into the green pudding, creating a light and airy consistency.
- Build layers in serving glasses by first sprinkling 1-2 tablespoons of Oreo crumbs at the bottom, then adding a generous pudding layer. Alternate between cookie crumbs and pudding, ensuring the final top layer is crushed Oreos.
- Refrigerate the pudding cups for 60 minutes to allow complete setting and chilling.
- For zombie decoration, carefully place one large and one small candy eyeball into the exposed cookie filling, creating zombie-like faces.
- Strategically position the zombie cookie faces upright in the pudding cups, and optionally garnish with bone or skeleton sprinkles for extra spooky effect.
Notes
- Select ultra-fresh Oreos for maximum crumb texture and clean cookie separation.
- Use gel food coloring for more vibrant green pudding without watering down the mixture.
- Consider alternative milk options like almond or oat milk for dairy-free adaptations.
- Refrigerate pudding cups up to 24 hours in advance for convenient party preparation.
