These creamy candy corn pudding cups are an easy, festive fall treat featuring silky vanilla pudding blended with chopped candy corn for a sweet, nostalgic dessert perfect for casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (480 ml) whole milk or dairy-free alternative (almond or oat milk)
  • ⅓ cup (65 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 package (3.4 oz / 96 g) instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 1 cup (about 150 g) candy corn, roughly chopped
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Whipped cream (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. Roughly chop 1 cup of candy corn into smaller pieces, reserving about 2 tablespoons for garnish.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups cold milk and 1 package instant vanilla pudding mix until smooth and thickened, about 2 minutes.
  3. Stir in ⅓ cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
  4. Gently fold the chopped candy corn into the pudding mixture, avoiding overmixing.
  5. Spoon the pudding into serving cups, filling about ¾ full. Reserve the garnish candy corn to sprinkle on top.
  6. Refrigerate the pudding cups for at least 1 hour to let flavors meld and candy corn soften.
  7. Before serving, add a dollop of whipped cream if desired and sprinkle with reserved candy corn pieces.

Notes

Use cold milk to prevent lumps and help pudding set properly. Fold candy corn gently to preserve texture. Chill at least 1 hour for best flavor and texture. Add candy corn garnish just before serving to avoid stickiness. For vegan or dairy-free versions, use plant-based milk and vegan pudding mix or silken tofu blended with vanilla and sweetener. Adjust sugar to taste due to candy corn sweetness.
