Looking for the perfect fall treat to bring a little fall magic to your next party or snack? These Pumpkin Patch Pudding Cups are an easy recipe to make with layers of chocolate chip cookie crumbs, pumpkin spice pudding, and a touch of green “grass” for an adorable mini pumpkin patch look.
They’re great for fall parties, snacks, or even a fun night out with a good movie and some pumpkin carving. With just a few ingredients and a little chill time, you’ll have a delicious dessert that everyone will love. So grab some candy pumpkins and let’s get started!
Ingredients needed
- Whole milk: The best milk for a creamy pudding texture; make sure it is well chilled.
- Pumpkin puree: Adds a hint of fall flavor, perfect for any pumpkin recipe.
- Instant Vanilla Pudding Mix: An easy base that combines well with pumpkin for a delicious pudding mixture.
- Brown sugar: Adds just the right amount of sweetness to the pudding.
- Pumpkin pie spice: Brings warm autumn flavors in every spoonful.
- Oreo Cookies: Grind into chocolate chip cookie crumbs to give that classic “dirty” look.
- Sweetened Grated Coconut: Colored green to simulate grass on top of your pumpkin patch.
- Green dye: Just a few drops to bring the coconut grass to life.
- Candy Pumpkins: The stars of the show, they create the pumpkin scene on top of each cup.
Whole milk provides the creamiest texture, but you can replace this with 2% or even plant-based milk, although the pudding may be slightly thinner.
Yes, but the cookie crumbs will soften over time. If preparing in advance, add another layer of cookie crumbs just before serving.
