How to Make Sand Pudding Recipe

  1. Add 1 ½ cups vanilla wafers and 2 Oreo cookies to your food processor and pulse until finely crushed, resembling sand.
  2. In a medium bowl, cream together 8 ounces (227g) softened cream cheese, ½ cup (1 stick) softened butter, and 2 cups powdered sugar until smooth and fluffy.
  3. In a large bowl, prepare your instant pudding mix according to package directions (usually with 2 cups milk).
  4. Gently fold the pudding mixture into the cream cheese mixture until well combined.
  5. Fold in 2 cups of whipped topping (Cool Whip or equivalent).
  6. Layer in a serving dish or pail: start with a layer of the crushed cookie 'sand', then a layer of the pudding mixture, and repeat until all ingredients are used.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or longer for firmer pudding) before serving.
