Description
A fun and spooky no-bake dessert perfect for Halloween parties. These adult-friendly graveyard dirt cups feature rich chocolate flavor and can be made vegan.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package (about 14 ounces) chocolate sandwich cookies
- 1/4 cup melted vegan butter
- 1 package (3.4 ounces) instant chocolate pudding mix (or vegan chocolate pudding mix)
- 2 cups milk (or unsweetened plant-based milk for vegan option)
- 1 cup heavy cream (or full-fat coconut cream for vegan option), chilled
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Vegan gummy worms
- Optional: Dark chocolate liqueur or coffee liqueur
Instructions
- Crush the chocolate sandwich cookies in a food processor until fine crumbs form.
- In a bowl, combine the cookie crumbs with the melted vegan butter. Mix until well combined.
- Press about 2 tablespoons of the crumb mixture into the bottom of each serving cup or glass.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and milk according to package directions. If using vegan pudding mix, follow its specific instructions.
- In another bowl, whip the heavy cream (or chilled coconut cream) with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. For a vegan option, ensure you are using vegan heavy cream or whipped coconut cream.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the prepared pudding until just combined. If adding liqueur, fold it in now.
- Spoon the pudding mixture evenly over the cookie crust in each cup.
- Chill the dirt cups for at least 30 minutes, or until the pudding is set.
- Before serving, top each dirt cup with more crushed cookies to resemble dirt.
- Decorate with vegan gummy worms and other spooky garnishes to create a graveyard effect.
Notes
- For an adult version, you can add a tablespoon or two of dark chocolate liqueur or coffee liqueur to the pudding mixture.
- Ensure all ingredients are vegan if making the vegan version, especially the gummy worms and chocolate cookies.
- Chill the serving cups before filling for easier handling.
