These vibrant layered cheesecake pudding cups are quick and easy to make, perfect for kids’ parties and family gatherings. The creamy cheesecake base combined with colorful pudding layers creates a delightful and nostalgic dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1 package (3.4 oz) instant cheesecake-flavored pudding mix
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 6 individual small pudding cups in assorted flavors/colors (strawberry, blueberry, lemon, lime, orange, grape) or six small bowls of homemade pudding dyed with food coloring
  • Optional toppings: whipped cream, rainbow sprinkles or edible glitter, fresh berries

Instructions

  1. Let the cream cheese sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes to soften.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until creamy and free of lumps, about 2-3 minutes. Add vanilla extract and lemon juice, mixing just until combined.
  3. Gradually whisk in the whole milk, then add the instant cheesecake pudding mix. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes until the mixture thickens and holds a soft, creamy texture.
  4. If making your own rainbow layers, divide the cheesecake pudding base evenly into six bowls. Add a drop or two of different food coloring to each bowl (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple) and gently fold to combine without deflating the mixture.
  5. Spoon or pipe a layer of one colored pudding (about 2 tablespoons) into clear cups. Chill in the fridge for 5-10 minutes to set slightly.
  6. Repeat layering with the remaining colors, chilling briefly between each layer to keep layers distinct.
  7. Cover the cups with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow pudding to firm up and flavors to meld.
  8. Before serving, top with optional whipped cream, sprinkles, or fresh berries.

Notes

Chill each pudding layer for 5-10 minutes before adding the next to prevent colors from blending. Use a small spoon or piping bag for neat layers. Let pudding cups sit out 5-10 minutes after refrigeration before serving to enhance flavor and texture. For dairy-free, substitute cream cheese and milk with plant-based alternatives. Store covered in refrigerator up to 3 days.
