Shark Pudding Cups

Share on social media

I have a super fun Shark Week inspired recipe to share with you today. I shared my Shark Jello Cups last year for Shark Week and I knew I wanted to do a pudding cup, too. These are so fun and easy to make- a great recipe to let the kiddos make and enjoy to celebrate Shark Week, or just Summer in general.

Shark Pudding Cups

I just used 4 ingredients for these- vanilla pudding mix, milk, nilla wafers, and gummy sharks! So easy.

How to make shark jello cups

To make them, you just simply follow the directions on the pudding box, crush up a couple of cups of nilla wafers, and layer those into 9 ounce dessert cups, topping with the gummy sharks.

Now, our “water” pudding has a bit of a green tinge because we used vanilla. You can always use white chocolate pudding to get more of a blue color, we just prefer vanilla.

Also, gel food coloring is the best you can use when dying food items. It works much better than regular food coloring and gives a more intense color.

Lastly, you can also decorate these with any sea creatures, not just sharks. I used gummy octopus in these Ocean Pudding Cups. You can also use Swedish fish, and any other gummy sea creatures you find. I have also seen some really cute sea turtles made from various gummies, like these on top of these sea turtle cupcakes from Tammilee Tips.

My boys love Shark Week and we love doing fun treats, crafts, and other things to add to the sharky fun. These should definitely be on your Shark Week “to make” list. It doesn’t get easier, and they are so yummy. I love the nilla wafer + pudding combination. So good!
