2. Switch up the flavor pudding you make! I was VERY tempted to make a cheesecake flavor but opted for just vanilla. But there are many different flavors that are white or even slightly yellow, including but not limited to Vanilla, French Vanilla, Cheesecake, and even Banana. So don’t be afraid to experiment!
3. Don’t be afraid to use different flavored vanilla cookies. First batch I made of this was with Vanilla Wafers and the second batch that I ended making with Golden Oreos. So go nuts and use any vanilla cookie you think might taste good and still look like sand when pureed.
