Ingredients
- 1 box cheesecake flavored pudding mix
- 1 box white chocolate flavored pudding mix
- 2 cups milk
- 2 cups heavy cream (about a one pint container)
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- yellow gel food coloring
- orange gel food coloring
Directions
| Step 1 | |
|
Any light colored pudding flavors would do the trick here. The main thing is making sure that they'll take the food coloring easily. I liked the sound of cheesecake and white chocolate.  | |
| Step 2 | |
|
So it gets really complicated here. Mix the puddings according to their package directions.  | |
| Step 3 | |
|
Add a nice sized blob of food coloring.  | |
| Step 4 | |
|
Make one flavor yellow,  | |
| Step 5 | |
|
and the other flavor orange.  | |
| Step 6 | |
|
Place a gallon sized ziploc in a large measuring cup, and fold down the top.  | |
| Step 7 | |
|
Pour in the yellow pudding.  | |
| Step 8 | |
| Reseal the top, and you have an instant piping bag! Pour the orange pudding into another bag, Place both bags into your fridge to thicken up a bit, and move on to the whipped cream. | |
| Step 9 | |
|
Pour the cream into mixer, and whip on high for about 3 minutes. Add the sugar.  | |
| Step 10 | |
|
and whip another 30 seconds or until you're pleased with the stiffness of the cream.  | |
| Step 11 | |
|
Repeat the ziploc trick with the sweetened whipped cream, and you'll officially be the proud owner of three bags of sweet goop!  | |
| Step 12 | |
|
Press the pudding back away from one corner of each bag, and snip off a small tip.  | |
| Step 13 | |
|
Now it's just a matter of layering the ingredients into a cute dish! The yellow goes first.  | |
| Step 14 | |
|
Follow it up with a little orange.  | |
| Step 15 | |
|
Then top it all off with some sweetened whipped cream.  | |
| Step 16 | |
|
They're nice and candy corny as is, but of course I felt obligated to go further. | |
| Step 17 | |
|
The spider cookies on top might have been a bit much, but hey... it's Halloween.  | |
