Graveyard pudding is a chocolaty dessert that is perfect for making and serving during Halloween time. It is a very rich dessert that is not only spooky, but cute and funny as well; for this reason, it is equally loved by kids and elders. You can easily make this dessert on the day as well as in advance for a Halloween party.
Ingredients
- Whole Milk - 3 ½ cups
- Chocolate Pudding Mix - two packs
- Cool Whip topping - 1 Tub
- Chocolate sandwich cookies such as Oreo's (crushed) - 1 pound
- Candy corn - To taste
- Pumpkin candies - As required
- Decorator icing (Brown or Black) - As required
- Rectangular sandwich cookies such as Peanut Butter Finger cookies - As required
Instructions
- Mix together 3 ½ cups of milk and two packs of chocolate pudding mix in a standing mixer, set to the lowest speed, until everything is well blended - about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Stop the mixer and stir one tub of cool whip into the pudding mixture.
- Then, add half of the crushed Oreo cookies and mix with a plastic spatula - do not process with the mixer.
- Transfer this mixture to a 13 by 9 inch baking dish and top with the remaining crushed Oreo cookies.
- Cool the pudding mix in the refrigerator for at least one hour.
- Meanwhile, prepare the tombstones and other structures for your graveyard pudding.
- To create the tombstones, take a rectangular sandwich cookie and outline it with black frosting, to give it the shape of a tombstone.
- With the brown frosting, write words like “RIP” or dates like “25th Oct. 1955”.
- Fix the cookie tombstones into the pudding just like the real ones standing in a graveyard.
- To create the border around your graveyard pudding, poke candy corn around the outer edges of the casserole, with alternating candies facing up and down respectively.
- This will create a fence around your graveyard pudding.
- Finish your project by randomly sprinkling pumpkin-shaped candies throughout the graveyard pudding.
- This will make your graveyard pudding look like a real graveyard, with tombstones and pumpkins spread all over.
