Ingredients
  

  • 1 package 3.4 oz instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 2 cups milk for the chocolate layer
  • 1 package 3.4 oz instant mint pudding mix
  • 2 cups milk for the mint layer
  • 1 cup whipped cream or whipped topping
  • Green food coloring optional but recommended for that vibrant shamrock vibe!
  • Chocolate shavings or mint candies for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Make the Chocolate Layer
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the chocolate pudding mix with 2 cups of milk. Whisk until smooth, then let it sit for about 5 minutes so it thickens slightly. This rich base will remind you of those classic shakes from your childhood—but better because you made it.
  • Whip Up the Mint Layer
  • Repeat the process with the mint pudding mix and another 2 cups of milk. For a pop of color worthy of any St Pattys Day party food ideas , stir in a few drops of green food coloring. Don’t be shy—go bold with the hue to channel that iconic shamrock spirit!
  • Assemble Your Cups
  • Now comes the fun part: layering! Start with a dollop of chocolate pudding in clear cups or glasses. Follow it with a generous spoonful of mint pudding. Repeat until the cups are filled, creating beautiful stripes reminiscent of a Shamrock Shake Lasagna .
  • Top It Off
  • Finish each cup with a swirl of whipped cream and sprinkle chocolate shavings or crushed mint candies on top. Voilà—you’ve got yourself a dessert that looks almost too good to eat. Almost.
  • Chill Before Serving
  • Pop the cups in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. Not only does this help the flavors meld together, but it also makes them refreshingly cool—a must-have quality for any Saint Patrick’s Day snack .
