Brownie Dirt Pudding Cups
Description
The Brownie Dirt Pudding Cups start with brownies cut into thin circular slices as a base in individual serving dishes. A chocolate pudding mixture, blended with instant pudding, milk, sweetened condensed milk, and folded with whipped topping, is spooned over the brownies to create a creamy layer. Crushed Oreo cookies scattered on top add a textural contrast with their crumbly crunch.
Each cup is decorated with Halloween candy and headstones, adding an element of themed fun to the dessert. The layered construction yields a dessert with a fudgy bottom, creamy center, and crunchy topping that can be prepped ahead and refrigerated until serving.
For convenience, the pudding mixture can be made a day earlier and stored cold. Assembly can also be done several hours in advance, making these cups practical for entertaining.
Ingredients
- 1 9x9-inch pan of brownies baked and cooled
- 1 package instant chocolate pudding mix 3.9 ounces
- ½ cup milk cold
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk 14 ounces
- 8 ounces whipped topping thawed, frozen
- 8 Oreo cookies crushed into fine crumbs
- edible Halloween-themed candy and headstone toppers
Instructions
- Use a small glass or round biscuit cutter to cut the brownies into 5 to 6 circular shapes. The size will depend on the type of serving dish you are using. You want the brownie to fit snuggly into the bottom of your serving dish. Once you have the brownie circles, slice each brownie in half horizontally, directly through the centers of the brownies, so each brownie is now two thinner circular brownies. Place one brownie circle into the bottom of each serving dish.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the dry pudding mix, milk, and sweetened condensed milk until smooth. Fold in whipped topping and gently mix until no streaks remain.
- Evenly spoon or pipe the pudding mixture directly onto each brownie slice. Top with crushed cookie crumbs and decorate as you wish.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
Notes
- Decorate with Halloween-themed candies like gummy worms or candy eyeballs for a playful appearance.
- The pudding mixture can be prepared up to a day ahead and refrigerated before assembling the cups.
- Assembled cups can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 8 hours before serving.
