What can I make with Cheesecake Pudding?

Using cheesecake pudding mix to make desserts is one of the shortcuts I like to take when I need a quick dessert.

You can enjoy the pudding as is or dress it up with fresh fruit, canned fruit, crushed cookies, crushed candy bars or even a spoonful too of whole fruit jam. The possibilities are endless!

I've posted a few other cheesecake pudding recipes recently. So if you're not a fan of blueberries, try the strawberry cheesecake pudding cups. just in case you don't like blueberries.

Main Ingredients Needed

This is an overview of the ingredients and instructions. Be sure to see the recipe card below for exact quantities, detailed instructions and special notes.

For the Cheesecake Pudding:

• Cream cheese - at room temperature
• Butter - at room temperature
• Instant pudding mix - for this recipe I used cheesecake pudding mix. If you can't find cheesecake pudding mix, you can use regular vanilla pudding mix. You could even use a sugar-free pudding mix.
• Powdered sugar
• Milk - I used 2% milk, whole milk would be great. I would not use 1% or fat free milk.
• Vanilla extract
• Cool Whip Topping - make sure it's defrosted.
• Reddi-Wip whipped topping - this is what I used to top each jar with.
• Fresh Blueberries - I used about 1 cup. Of course, you could add more if you like.

For the Graham Cracker Crumbs Crust:

• Graham Cracker Crumbs - for this recipe I chose to use the crumbs instead of crushing graham crackers into crumbs. Make sure you reserve about ½ cup for a garnish later.
• Sugar
• Melted butter

Step-by-Step Directions

This recipe should make around 8 pudding cups depending on the size of the cup you use.

Step 1: Prepare the Pudding Mix

• In the bowl of the KitchenAid mixer, using the paddle attachment, cream together the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth.
• Add in the powdered sugar and vanilla and continue to mix until combined and smooth.
• Switch out the paddle attachment for the whisk attachment, if you have one, and then add in the pudding mix followed by the milk.

Step 2: Add the Cool Whip

• Allow the pudding/cream cheese mixture to set until just firm. Since we're using instant pudding mix, this takes about 5 minutes.
• Finally, fold in the container of Cool Whip.

Step 3: Prepare the Graham Cracker Crumb Crust

• Combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter and sugar into a mixing bowl. Stir together until everything is combined.
• Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the crumbs into the bottom of the glasses.
• Reserve some of the crumbs to use as a garnish.
• Then using the tart tamper, gently press the crumbs into the bottom of the glasses.

Step 4: Add the Pudding to the Cups

• Next, add the pudding/cream cheese mixture to the glasses.
• I found it easier to use a large cookie scoop to get the mixture into the jars without making a huge mess. You could also use a wide mouth canning funnel

Step 5: Add the Fruit

• Add the fresh blueberries.
• Top each jar with a little of the ReddiWip whipped cream and a few of the reserved graham cracker crumbs.
• Serve and enjoy!
