These Easy Candy Corn Layered Jello Cups are a fun, no-bake dessert with three simple ingredients. With vibrant orange, yellow, and white layers, they mimic candy corn and are perfect for Halloween parties or any fall gathering.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box (3 oz) orange-flavored Jell-O
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1 box (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 1 cup cold milk (whole milk preferred, 2% works)
  • 1 1/2 cups frozen whipped topping, thawed (divided: 1/2 cup for middle layer, 1 cup for top layer)

Instructions

  1. Make the orange layer: Boil 1 cup of water. Pour orange Jell-O powder into a medium bowl, add boiling water, and whisk for about 2 minutes until completely dissolved. Divide liquid evenly among small clear cups, filling about one-third full. Refrigerate for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until set but still jiggly.
  2. Make the yellow layer: In a separate bowl, combine instant vanilla pudding mix with 1 cup cold milk. Whisk for about 2 minutes until it starts to thicken. Let sit for 5 minutes, then gently fold in 1/2 cup thawed whipped topping until no white streaks remain.
  3. Once orange layer is set, spoon pudding mixture on top of each cup, filling about two-thirds full. Gently tap cups on counter to settle. Refrigerate for 45 minutes to 1 hour until firm.
  4. Add the white layer: Once pudding layer is set, spoon remaining 1 cup thawed whipped topping on top of each cup. Spread gently to create a smooth white cap. Refrigerate for at least 1 more hour, or overnight for best results.

Notes

Make sure each layer is fully set before adding the next to prevent colors from bleeding. For best results, make the night before. Use whole milk for creamiest pudding layer. Check Jell-O expiration date before starting. If in a hurry, you can freeze the orange layer for 20 minutes instead of refrigerating, but watch carefully to avoid freezing solid.
