Notes
Use light-colored pudding. As mentioned above, plan to use a light or white pudding in your Easter dirt pudding cups if you’re going to add any color. White chocolate or coconut are other options.
Don’t like coconut? Use green sprinkles for the grass instead of colored coconut shreds. You can also use swirls of green icing if you’d prefer – I just like the grass look of the shredded coconut!
Not using any food coloring? You can decide to still use a white pudding or use a chocolate pudding layer instead if you want more chocolate flavor!
