FAQs for Pudding Beach Cups
How do you defrost cool whip quickly?
The quickest way to defrost Cool Whip is to remove it from the freezer and place it in the refrigerator for a few hours to thaw. If you need to defrost it more quickly, you can place the sealed container in a bowl of cold water for about 30 minutes, changing the water every 10 minutes to ensure it doesn’t get too warm. However, it’s important to avoid using hot water or microwaving Cool Whip, as this can cause it to melt and lose its texture.
Can you freeze the pudding cups?
I do not recommend making these beach cheesecake pudding cups ahead of time and freezing them. They will not thaw well, and the texture and consistency will be very different from the fresh version.
Can I use store-bought pudding cups instead of using the pudding mix?
You don’t have to make the pudding using dry pudding mix, you can use pre-made pudding cups.
Beach pudding cups are the perfect summer dessert that combines creamy pudding with the fun and excitement of the beach all rolled up into one perfect no bake dessert.
So, next time you’re dreaming of a beautiful sunny day at the beach, grab your tiny drink umbrellas and whip up a batch of beach pudding cups to satisfy your sweet tooth and bring a smile to your face.

Ingredients
- 1 package of butter cookies about 11 ounces
- 1 8 ounce tub of cool whip, thawed
- 1 8 ounce tub of whipped cream cheese
- 1 3.4 ounce package of cheesecake pudding mix
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 8 honey teddy grams
- 8 peach gummy rings
- 10 drops of blue food coloring
- 8 drink umbrellas or palm trees
- large star sprinkles
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together the cheesecake pudding mix with milk. If the package calls for a different amount of milk, follow those instructions. Set the pudding aside but not in your refrigerator, we don’t want the pudding completely set before mixing it with other ingredients.
In a separate large bowl, combine whipped cream cheese, powdered sugar, and cool whip. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
Add the cheesecake pudding to the cream cheese mixture and blend until well combined.
Add 10 drops of blue food coloring to the mixture and stir very well. Food coloring color intensity varied depending on the brand, so you may need to add more or less food coloring to reach the desired color. Add just a few drops at a time while stirring.
In a blender or food processor, grind the cookies until they are a sandy texture.
Place a ¾ layer of cookie “sand” into the bottom of 8 cups. Next spoon in a ¾ inch layer of blue pudding. Repeat this layering twice ending with blue pudding just below the rim of the cup.
Chill the pudding cups covered in your refrigerator for 1 hour.
Using a spoon, create a half-moon shape of cookie “sand” along one side of the pudding cups to create a beach.
Place a teddy graham bear into the center of 8 peach gummy rings and place them in the blue pudding “water” in each cup. Place a star sprinkle on the cookie “sand” and place an umbrella or palm tree into the “sand” as well.
Serve Chilled and enjoy!
