10 plastic drinking cups

Ingredients

45 Oreo cookies 18.12 oz family size package, crumbs
3.4 ounces instant cheesecake pudding mix or white chocolate
2 ½ cups cold milk
8 ounces whipped topping thawed (we used Cool Whip)
gel food coloring in choice of colors
3 cups shredded coconut
27 mini Cadbury eggs

Instructions

Use a food processor to pulse the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs. There is no need to remove the cream. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the milk and pudding powder until the pudding begins to thicken, about 3-5 minutes.
Add the Cool Whip and gently fold into the pudding.
Divide the pudding in half and put into two separate bowls. Then add 2-3 drops of one color food coloring into one bowl, and another 2-3 drops of a different color food coloring in the other bowl. Fold to combine. You can add more food coloring as needed until the desired color is reached.
Add the shredded coconut into a zip top bag along with 2-3 drops of green food coloring.
Close the bag and massage the contents together until the coconut is green. Add more food coloring until the desired shade is reached.
Prepare your dessert cups and add two tablespoons of Oreo crumbs as the bottom layer in all of the cups. Then add two tablespoons of the first color of pudding, followed by another layer of Oreo crumbs.
Add the second layer of pudding in another color, followed by one last layer of Oreo crumbs.
Top each cup with two tablespoons s of the colored coconut shreds and add one Peep marshmallow along with 3 mini Cadbury eggs.
