Notes

Tips

  • Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature so it blends smoothly with the pudding mix.
  • Start mixing with the paddle attachment, then switch to the whisk for a light, creamy texture.
  • Chill the dessert cups for at least an hour before serving for the best set.
Storage & Make Ahead
  • Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Add toppings just before serving so they stay fresh and crunchy.
  • Not recommended for freezing, as the pudding filling may separate.
