Tips for Perfect Mini Pudding Desserts
- Use glass containers or mason jars. Clear glass containers allow guests to see the layers and textures of the pudding. Mason jars are especially popular for their cute, rustic look.
- If you’re hosting a party, consider using smaller containers like shot glasses or tiny cups. This allows guests to enjoy a little bit of everything without overindulging.
- Make the pudding in advance since it needs time to chill and set.
- Create layers of flavor and texture by alternating the pudding with crushed cookies, fruit, or whipped cream. The more layers, the better!
- Garnish with fun toppings!
