S’mores Pudding Cups
Servings 4
Ingredients
*For the pudding:*
- 3 cups whole milk
- ¾ cup cocoa powder
- ¼ cup + 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ tsp salt
- 4 egg yolks
- 1 ½ tsp vanilla extract
*For the graham cracker crumble:*
- 1 cup crushed graham crackers
- 6 tbsp melted salted butter
- 3 tbsp granulated sugar
*Topping:*
- 7 oz marshmallow fluff
Instructions
*For the pudding:*
- In a bowl, whisk together egg yolks and set aside.
- In a pot, pour in the milk. In a separate bowl, mix cocoa powder, cornstarch, sugar, and salt. Add this mixture to the milk and heat over medium-high heat until it boils, stirring continuously for 3-5 minutes until it thickens.
- Take ¼ cup of the mixture and add it to the egg yolks, whisking to temper them. Combine the egg yolk mixture with the pudding and cook for an extra 1-2 minutes until it reaches the desired consistency.
- Remove from heat, stir in vanilla, and strain the pudding into a bowl. Cover with plastic wrap pressed directly onto the pudding to avoid forming a skin. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before assembly.
*For the graham cracker crumble:*
- Crush graham crackers in a food processor. While processing, add sugar and melted butter. Blend until it resembles wet sand, about 30 seconds.
*For assembly:*
- Once the pudding has set, assemble the dessert in 4 8oz jars or cups. Start with approximately 2 tablespoons of the graham cracker crumble, pressing it down into an even layer.
- Next, add about ½ cup of the chilled pudding on top of the crumble.
- Finish by generously topping each jar with marshmallow fluff.
- Toast the marshmallow fluff on top using a kitchen torch for that perfect s’mores touch.
- Serve and enjoy this delightful, no-fuss treat that captures the essence of a gooey campfire s’more!
