A fun, colorful, and creamy layered pudding dessert perfect for kids’ parties and family gatherings, featuring vibrant rainbow swirls and a smooth cream cheese blend.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box (3.4 oz / 96 g) instant vanilla pudding mix (recommend Jell-O)
  • 2 cups (480 ml) whole milk
  • 4 oz (115 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup (240 ml) whipped topping, thawed (cool whip style)
  • Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple gel food coloring
  • 1 tsp (5 ml) vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp (25 g) granulated sugar (optional)
  • Optional garnishes: mini marshmallows or sprinkles

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together instant vanilla pudding mix with cold whole milk until thickened, about 2 minutes. Let sit for 5 minutes to fully set.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat softened cream cheese with whipped topping and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Add granulated sugar if desired for sweetness.
  3. Gently fold the pudding into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined and silky smooth.
  4. Divide the combined pudding evenly into six small bowls. Add gel food coloring to each bowl to create red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple colors. Stir well until uniform.
  5. Using spoons or piping bags, carefully layer each colored pudding into serving cups starting with red at the bottom, then orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple on top.
  6. Use a toothpick or skewer to gently swirl through the layers creating soft spirals without mixing colors too much.
  7. Refrigerate the pudding cups for at least 1 hour to let flavors meld and pudding firm up.
  8. Just before serving, garnish with mini marshmallows or sprinkles if desired.

Notes

Use gel food coloring for vibrant colors without thinning pudding. Fold pudding gently with cream cheese to keep texture light and creamy. Chill at least 1 hour. Avoid over-swizzling to prevent muddy colors. Can be made a day ahead; add garnishes just before serving. For dairy-free, use coconut or almond milk and dairy-free cream cheese and whipped topping.
