# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • No baking required means you can pull this together while the kids are finishing homework.
  • The layering trick makes ordinary pudding feel fancy and fun without any real effort.
  • Every cup is a blank canvas for creativity, so everyone decorates their own Easter garden.
02 -
  • Cold milk matters more than you'd think—warm or room-temperature milk won't set the pudding properly, and you'll end up with soup instead of layers.
  • Don't crush the Oreos too much; you want chunky bits that genuinely resemble dirt, not a fine powder that loses its character.
03 -
  • If you can't find marshmallow bunnies, chocolate bunnies or even pastel candies work beautifully and sometimes taste better.
  • Homemade whipped cream tastes noticeably richer than store-bought, so if you have five minutes, whip heavy cream with a bit of sugar yourself.
