Ingredients
- 1 package chocolate pudding mix
- 2 cups milk
- 1 cup whipped cream
- 1 cup crushed chocolate cookies
- 6 ghost-shaped marshmallows
- Chocolate syrup for drizzling
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, prepare the chocolate pudding mix by whisking together the pudding mix and milk according to package directions. Ensure mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
- Refrigerate the prepared pudding for approximately 5-10 minutes to allow it to set and slightly thicken.
- While pudding is chilling, crush chocolate cookies into fine, even crumbs using a food processor or by placing cookies in a sealed plastic bag and crushing with a rolling pin.
- Prepare a clean work surface and arrange 6 clear shooter glasses or small dessert glasses.
- Begin layering the dessert by first sprinkling a thin layer of crushed chocolate cookies at the bottom of each glass to create the "graveyard soil" base.
- Carefully spoon the chilled chocolate pudding over the cookie crumb layer, filling each glass about halfway.
- Gently pipe or spoon whipped cream on top of the pudding layer to create a smooth, white surface.
- Sprinkle additional cookie crumbs around the edges to enhance the graveyard aesthetic.
- Place a ghost-shaped marshmallow on top of each dessert shooter, positioning it to look like it's emerging from the "grave".
- Drizzle chocolate syrup in a decorative, zigzag pattern across the top of each dessert shooter.
- Refrigerate the completed dessert shooters for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow layers to set and flavors to meld.
- Serve chilled and enjoy your spooky Ghosts Graveyard Dessert Shooters!
