This easy layered dessert creates zebra stripes by alternating chocolate pudding and whipped topping in a clear glass. It takes minutes to make, looks impressive, and kids love scooping through the layers.
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 0 minutes (plus 30 minutes chill time)
Total Time: 40 minutes
Servings: 2-4
Difficulty Level: Easy
Ingredients
- 1 small box of instant chocolate pudding mix
- 2 cups milk (for the pudding)
- 1 cup whipped topping or whipped cream
Allergy notes: Contains dairy. May contain soy (check pudding mix label).
Substitutions:
- Dairy-free? Use coconut milk and dairy-free whipped topping.
- No chocolate pudding? Vanilla pudding works too. You’ll get a vanilla-and-cream layered dessert.
- For a healthier version, layer chocolate yogurt with vanilla yogurt.
Steps
- Make the pudding. Prepare the chocolate pudding according to package directions. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes until set.
- Layer the stripes. In a tall, clear glass or jar, spoon a layer of chocolate pudding, then a layer of whipped topping, then another layer of pudding, and so on. Alternate until the glass is full.
- Finish and serve. Top with a final dollop of whipped topping. Serve with a long spoon so kids can dig down through all the layers.
Grownup help needed: Making the pudding (whisking).
