How to Make This Hawaiian Sand Cups Recipe

Ingredients you need to make this Super Easy Hawaiian Sand Cups Recipe

  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 small package instant vanilla pudding
  • 1 tub cool whip (8oz size), thawed
  • 1 package (14oz) Vanilla Sugar Wafer Cookies

Directions for making this Super Easy Hawaiian Sand Cups Recipe

The recipe above makes 8-10, 7 ounce cups. The cups pictured are much smaller. 

In a large bowl add milk and pudding mix. Whisk until blended and no longer lumpy, let set for 5 minutes in the refrigerator. 

In a food processor, crush 1 package of sugar wafers to fine crumbs. 

Stir whipped topping with pudding mix and add half of the crushed cookies to the mix. 

Layer ingredients to make sand cups: 

1-1/2 tablespoon crushed cookies in the bottom of the cup. Fill cup 3/4 full with pudding mix and  top with cookies (about 1 to 1-1/2 tablespoon crushed cookies) 

Refrigerate for an hour, or overnight. 

Decorate with gummy sharks and paper umbrellas before serving. 

 

 

I often double this Super Easy Hawaiian Sand Cups Recipe, or just put less “beach” in each cup to make more servings.
