S'mores Pudding Cups
This no-bake dessert is made by using layers of homemade chocolate pudding, a buttery graham cracker crumble and toasted marshmallow fluff. It tastes just like a gooey s'more without needing a campfire!
Servings: 4 cups
Equipment
- 1 kitchen torch
Ingredients
For the pudding:
- 3 cups whole milk
- ¾ cups cocoa powder
- ¼ cup + 2 tbsp corn starch
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ tsp salt
- 4 egg yolks
- 1 ½ tsp vanilla extract
For the graham cracker crumble:
- 1 cup ground up graham crackers
- 6 tbsp salted butter melted
- 3 tbsp granulated sugar
Topping:
- 7 oz marshmallow fluff
Instructions
For the pudding:
- Add egg yolks to a small bowl and set aside. In a medium sized pot add the milk. In a separate bowl stir together the dark chocolate cocoa powder, corn starch, sugar, and salt until combined. Stir into the milk and turn the heat to medium high. Bring the mixture to a boil and continually stir until the mixture starts to thicken, 3-5 minutes.
- Once it has thickened, scoop ¼ cup of the mixture and add to the egg yolks, while whisking, to temper the yolks. Once combined, stir egg yolk mixture into the pot with the rest of the pudding and allow to cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the mixture reached the desired consistency. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla. Pour pudding through a strainer to remove any clumps into a medium-sized bowl and cover with plastic wrap, pressing the wrap directly to the pudding so no skin forms. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before assembly.
For the graham cracker crumble:
- Add graham crackers to a food processor and blend until totally crushed. While the processor is on, add sugar and butter. Blend until it resembles wet sand, about 30 seconds.
For assembly:
- Once the pudding has set you will assemble! In 4 8oz jars or cups, add approximately 2 tablespoons of the graham cracker crumble and press down into an even layer. Next add about ½ cup of pudding. Top with the marshmallow fluff. Toast the top with a kitchen torch and serve! ***If you don't have a kitchen torch, you can build these in oven safe ramekins and broil on high for 2 minutes. You can also eat these without toasting the top and they'll be just as delicious!
