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:

1. Set aside 4 to 5 small jars.
2. In a medium sized pot add cocoa powder, sugar, cornstarch and salt together, whisk to combine.
3. 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.
4. Boil for 1-2 minutes, continue to whisk so the bottom doesn't burn.
5. Remove from heat, add butter and vanilla, stir to combine.
6. Working quickly, pour pudding into jars.
7. Cover jars with plastic wrap, pressing the plastic directly onto the pudding to avoid forming a "skin". Chill for one hour.
8. While the puddings cool make gravestone heads. Use decorating gel on Coffee Crisp Thins to design gravestones (Click here for some inspiration).
9. 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.
