Description

Add some delicious spookiness to your Halloween this year with these fun and festive Ghosts in the Graveyard Chocolate Pudding Cups. Plus, you know – chocolate pudding and all…


Ingredients

1 3.9-ounce package of instant chocolate pudding
1 cup cold water
1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
1 pint (2 cups) heavy whipping cream, divided
2 cups Oreo cookies
1 package Milano cookies, any variety
Marker with edible ink or 1/4 cup chocolate chips mixed with 1 teaspoon canola oil, melted in a Ziploc bag
1/4 cup powdered sugar
Candy eyes (look for them in the cake decorating section of your grocery or craft store)
Optional: addition candy for decorating such as gummy worms or candy pumpkins

clear cups for serving (6-8 ounce cups will yield 6-10 pudding cups depending how full you fill them).


Instructions

  1. In the jar pf a blender, combine water, sweetened condensed milk, and pudding mix. Blend until smooth, transfer mixture to a medium mixing bowl, and place in refrigerator.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, beat 1 cup of the heavy cream with electric beaters until soft peaks form. Remove the pudding mixture from the refrigerator and fold in the whipped cream until completely combined. Distribute the pudding mixture evenly among clear individual glass or plastic cups or jars. Place the pudding cups in the refrigerator. This step can be done up to 24 hours ahead of time.
  3. Place 2 cups Oreos in the jar of a blender and pulse until you have Oreo crumbs. (If your blender has a hard time, do 1 cup at a time.) Sprinkle over each pudding cup so it looks like dirt.
  4. Using the marker or melted chocolate (snip off a tiny corner of the bag), write “R.I.P.” on the top of each Milano cookie. Insert 1 cookie into one side of each pudding cup.
  5. In a large mixing bowl, combine the remaining 1 cup heavy cream and the powdered sugar. Beat until stiff peaks form (be careful not to turn it into butter, but you want it to hold its shape.) Transfer the whipped cream to a large Ziploc bag and cut off a corner so you have about a 1/2″ opening. Swirl the whipped cream on top of each pudding cup to make a ghost. Add two eyes to each ghost.

Notes

If you are adding extras: layer gummy worms in the cups as you are filling them with pudding, or tuck one half way in the pudding before adding the Oreo dirt. Add pumpkins on top when you place the tombstones.
