Step-by-Step Instructions

1️⃣Combine the Ingredients

• Prepare both pudding mixes according to the package directions.
• Chill the pudding for about an hour before putting the easy desserts together in the mason jars.

📌Quick Tip: Since these recipes are best prepared a few hours or even a day before serving, I find it easier to use Cool Whip Whipped Topping instead ofhomemade whipped cream.

2️⃣Put the Mason Jar Desserts Together

• Add either the cookie or graham cracker crumbs to the bottom of a mason jar.
• Then add a spoonful of pudding, followed by some of the whipped cream or whipped topping.
• If you are adding fruit to the cheesecake pudding desserts, add your fruit to each layer.
• Top off each mason jar with the whipped topping.

🥣Serving Tips

To make things even more convenient, you could set up a trifle bar where guests can assemble their own mason jar trifles with their favorite flavors and toppings.

Everyone loves a little treat after a big meal and these no bake desserts in a mason jar are delicious and look adorable on the buffet.

🍶Storage Tips

• Store the jars upright in the refrigerator, making sure they're not leaning or laying on their side.
• Make sure to screw the lids on the jars tightly to prevent air from getting in and spoiling the dessert.
• Mason jar pudding desserts can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days if properly stored.

❄️Freezing Tips

• Because of the milk and whipped cream, I do not recommend freezing these pudding desserts.
• The texture and flavor of the ingredients may change once they're frozen and thawed.
• The pudding, cookies, and fruit may become soft and mushy, and the whipped cream or whipped topping may lose their texture and color.

➡️Top Recipe Tip

• Mason jar pudding desserts are best served chilled, so take them out of the fridge about 10-15 minutes before serving to let them come to room temperature slightly.
