Hello sweet-toothed Halloween enthusiasts! It's your friendly culinary expert and dessert enthusiast here, dusting off my chef's hat to once again unleash some dessert wizardry. Today's spectral delight? A spooky Halloween Choco Pudding! If you need proof of how bewitching this dish can be, check out this video that fired up my inspiration.
Ingredients
Arm yourselves with:
- 1 packet of chocolate pudding mix
- 2 cups of milk
- Halloween-themed cookie cutters (think bats, ghosts, witches hats, or any of your spooky favorites)
- Whipped cream (or marshmallows, for some ghostly fluff)
- Sprinkles (it's Halloween, go wild!)
Preparation and Cook
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine your pudding mix and milk. Stir consistently on medium heat until the mixture starts to boil.
Once boiling, lower your heat and keep stirring until your mixture achieves that gorgeous thick pudding consistency. This usually takes around five minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool.
Pour your cooled pudding mixture onto a shallow, flat tray—about half an inch thick should do the trick. Pop it in your fridge and let it set for about 1-2 hours.
Once your chocolate pudding is set, it's time to bring out your Halloween cookie cutters. Press your cutters into the pudding and carefully remove the shapes.
Decorating Your Choco Pudding
This is where you let your creativity take the reins!
- For ghost-shaped puddings, add two little whipped cream or marshmallow eyes.
- Try bat-shaped sprinkles on your bat puddings for some extra crunch.
- Make a witch-hat-shaped pudding extra wicked with a sprinkled star on top.
Remember, there are no hard and fast rules in decorating. You can even use edible markers to craft spooky or silly faces for your spooky choco pudding masterpieces.
