Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup heavy cream chilled
  • 1 cup vanilla pudding store-bought or homemade
  • 1/2 cup cookie crumbles Graham crackers or speculoos cookies
  • 1 cup candy corn brightly colored, festive

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk or electric mixer
  • Small spoon or measure
  • Serving glasses or cups
  • Spoon for layering

Method
 

  1. Beat the chilled heavy cream with a mixer until soft peaks form, creating a fluffy whip with a glossy finish.
  2. Gently fold the vanilla pudding into the whipped cream to create a smooth, creamy mixture that holds gentle folds.
  3. Spoon a layer of the whipped vanilla mixture into the bottom of each glass, spreading it evenly with the back of a spoon.
  4. Sprinkle a thin layer of cookie crumbles over the first layer, adding crunch and texture.
  5. Add a handful of colorful candy corn on top of the crumbles, creating vibrant pops of color.
  6. Repeat the layering process: add another layer of whipped vanilla mixture, followed by cookie crumbles and more candy corn until the glasses are filled, finishing with a candy corn top for visual effect.
  7. Serve immediately to enjoy the contrasting textures and vibrant colors, or refrigerate for up to an hour if making in advance.

Notes

For a more dramatic look, alternate colors of candy corn or add additional toppings like chocolate shavings.
