Ingredients

1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup confection sugar
2 packages instant pistachio or chocolate pudding
3 1/2 cups low-fat milk
2 cups heavy cream whipped to soft peaks

You'll need 12 glass bowls or terracotta pots (without the small holes on the bottom).

Mix the cheese, butter and sugar until it’s uniformly creamy.
3

In a different bowl, mix the milk and instant pudding and then mix with the whipped cream until the mixture is consistent.
4

Break the cookies down in a food processer (without the cream).
5

Fill each mold (a little over half way) with the whipped pudding mixture and then add 1 1/2 tablespoon of the crumbled cookies over the pudding, and then decorate to your liking.

Expert Tips

tip 1
You can use rectangular cookies as tombstones and write RIP in them. You can also purchase these cute ghosts at any specialty store or you can make them yourself with fondant.
tip 2
Add a bit of green food coloring if the pudding comes out too opaque (use about 5 drops).
