Ingredients

  • 2 Cups Milk
  • 1 Small Package Instant Vanilla Pudding This Hawaiian Desserts Sand Cups for Kids Is An Easy Dessert Recipe To Make And A Super Fun Treat To Eat!
  • 1 Cool Whip thawed
  • 1 Package Vanilla Sugar Wafer Cookies 14 oz
  • Clear Plastic Cups 7 oz size
  • Gummy Sharks or similar items for decoration
  • Paper Umbrella Toothpicks

Instructions

  • This Sand Cups recipe makes 8-10, 7 ounce cups. (For photos, the cups pictured are 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. Pudding will thicken as it chills.
  • 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:
  • Add ½ tablespoon crushed cookies to the bottom of each cup. Fill cup ¾ full with pudding mix. Then top with more crushed cookies (about 1-½ tablespoon)
  • Refrigerate for at least an hour. Can cover top and refrigerate overnight to finish assembly next day (party prep ahead!)
  • Decorate with gummy sharks and paper umbrellas before serving.

Notes

I often double the pudding recipe, or just put less "beach" in each cup to make more servings.
