- The specific amount of each ingredient you use will be determined on the size of the glasses or small trifle bowls you use and the amount of each ingredient you put in each layer. Feel free to play around with this – there is no wrong way to layer these dessert cups!
- You can easily adjust the strength of the mint flavor by adding half of the mint extract first, tasting, and adding more to suit your tastes.
- To make it assembly easier, transfer the pudding and whipped cream into pastry bags or ziploc bags and pipe into the cups instead of spooning the mixture in.
