Description

This Halloween Graveyard Pudding Cups recipe features a delicious chocolate mousse layered with crushed Oreo cookies to create a spooky graveyard effect. Topped with ‘RIP’ tombstone cookies and optional gummy worms, these pudding cups are perfect for a festive and eerie treat that’s both visually appealing and delightfully creamy.

Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Mousse

  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 6 oz semi-sweet chocolate wafers or chocolate chips

For the Graveyard Decoration

  • 24 Oreo cookies (crushed)
  • 6 Milano double chocolate cookies
  • Black frosting or edible marker
  • Gummy worms (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Tombstone Cookies: Use black frosting or an edible marker to write “RIP” on 6 Milano double chocolate cookies to simulate tombstones. Set these decorated cookies aside for later use.
  2. Whip Heavy Cream: In a clean bowl, whip the 2 cups of heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form, ensuring a light and airy texture for the mousse.
  3. Melt Chocolate: Place the 6 oz of semi-sweet chocolate wafers or chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at 50% power for 30 seconds intervals, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate is mostly melted. Allow the chocolate to cool for 10 minutes before combining.
  4. Make Chocolate Mousse: Slowly fold the cooled melted chocolate into the whipped cream gently until a smooth mousse forms, making sure not to deflate the whipped cream.
  5. Layer Crumbs and Mousse: Crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs. Sprinkle 3-4 tablespoons of the crushed Oreo crumbs evenly into the bottom of 6 clear 9 oz cups.
  6. Add Mousse Layer: Spoon a layer of the chocolate mousse over the Oreo crumbs in each cup.
  7. Repeat Layers: Repeat the layering by adding another 3-4 tablespoons of crushed Oreo crumbs followed by another mousse layer to fill the cups.
  8. Top with Crumbs: Finish by adding more crushed Oreo crumbs on top until it reaches the edge of the cup, mimicking dirt.
  9. Chill: Refrigerate the pudding cups for 2 hours to set the mousse and allow flavors to meld and the texture to firm up.
  10. Decorate and Serve: Before serving, insert one ‘RIP’ tombstone cookie into the center of each pudding cup. Optionally, add gummy worms to enhance the spooky graveyard effect. Serve with extra whipped cream and chocolate if desired.

Notes

  • Make sure to cool the melted chocolate before folding it into the whipped cream to prevent the cream from melting.
  • Use clear cups to showcase the layered effect of the pudding and Oreo crumbs for a creepy graveyard look.
  • Gummy worms are optional but add fun and an eerie touch to the presentation.
  • The mousse can be made a day ahead and refrigerated for convenience.
  • For a dairy-free version, consider coconut whipped cream and dairy-free chocolate chips.
