Ingredients

Scale

Jello Layers

2 packages (3 oz each) raspberry-flavored Jello
2 cups boiling water
2 cups cold water

Pudding Layer

1 box (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
2 cups cold milk

Toppings

1 cup whipped cream (homemade or store-bought)
Fresh raspberries (for garnish)
Mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

Make the Jello Layers: In a large mixing bowl, dissolve 1 package of raspberry Jello in 1 cup boiling water, stirring until fully dissolved. Add 1 cup cold water and stir again. Pour a small amount into the bottom of each serving glass to form the first layer, filling about one-quarter of the glass. Refrigerate for 30 minutes until set.
Prepare the Pudding: Whisk the instant vanilla pudding mix with 2 cups cold milk for 2-3 minutes until thickened. Cover and refrigerate for 10 minutes to allow it to set further.
Layer the Pudding: After the first Jello layer is set, spoon the vanilla pudding into each glass to fill approximately halfway. Smooth the surface with a spoon if necessary.
Add the Second Jello Layer: Repeat the Jello preparation with the second package: dissolve in boiling water and add cold water. Let it cool slightly, then carefully pour it over the pudding layer until cups are about three-quarters full. Refrigerate for another 30 minutes to set.
Top with Whipped Cream: Once all layers have set, add a generous dollop of whipped cream on top of each cup.
Garnish & Serve: Decorate each cup with fresh raspberries and optionally a mint leaf for color and flavor. Serve chilled and enjoy!

Notes

Ensure each layer is fully set before adding the next to maintain neat, distinct layers.
Feel free to substitute raspberry Jello for other flavors to match your party theme.
