Chocolate Halloween Pudding Graves
Ingredients:
Pudding
- 1/3 cup (40 g) light cocoa powder
- 1/3 cup (74 g) sugar
- 3 Tablespoons (30 g) cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 1/2 cups (625 ml) milk
- 2 Tablespoons (28 ) unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Toppings
- 5 Tablespoons (approx.) chocolate wafer crumbs
- Coffee Crisp thins
- Wilton white decorating gel
- Gummi worms
- Candy corn
Directions:
- Set aside 4 to 5 small jars.
- In a medium sized pot add cocoa powder, sugar, cornstarch and salt together, whisk to combine.
- On medium heat, slowly add milk, continuously whisking to combine ingredients. Raise the heat to medium-high and continue to whisk until mixture comes to a boil. The mixture should start to thicken.
- Boil for 1-2 minutes, continue to whisk so the bottom doesn't burn.
- Remove from heat, add butter and vanilla, stir to combine.
- Working quickly, pour pudding into jars.
- Cover jars with plastic wrap, pressing the plastic directly onto the pudding to avoid forming a "skin". Chill for one hour.
- While the puddings cool make gravestone heads. Use decorating gel on Coffee Crisp Thins to design gravestones (Click here for some inspiration).
- Add approx. 1 tablespoon of chocolate wafers to the tops of each pudding cup. Next, press the 'gravestone' heads into each pudding cup and add gummi worms, etc.
NOTES
- Use any candy you like to create a fun gravestone/Halloween theme like; candy eye balls, pumpkins, etc.
- The chocolate wafer crumbs will begin to soften over time. Serve chocolate pudding graves the day of.
- Recipe easily doubles.
