The Recipe
Makes: 1 cemetery cup
Time: About 10 minutes, plus time for the gravestone lettering to set
Ingredients
For the chocolate pudding:
-
½ cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
-
1 teaspoon honey
-
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
-
1 serving One Sol Chocolate Sea Salt Lean Plant Protein
-
1 teaspoon cocoa powder
-
A splash of milk of choice, if needed
For the toppings:
-
3 Oreo Thins, crushed
-
1 small oval or rectangular cookie for a gravestone
-
Melted chocolate or decorating icing
-
Edible Halloween decorations, such as candy zombie hands, bones, or skulls
How to Make Them
-
Mix your chocolate base. Stir the Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla together in a bowl. Add the protein powder and cocoa powder, then mix until smooth. If the mixture is too thick, add a little milk until it reaches a creamy, spoonable consistency.
-
Fill your cup. Spoon the chocolate pudding into a small glass or dessert cup, smoothing the top.
-
Add your cookie dirt. Crush the Oreo Thins into crumbs and sprinkle them over the pudding until the surface is covered.
-
Make your gravestone. Use melted chocolate or decorating icing to write “RIP” on the cookie. Let the lettering set, then press the bottom of the cookie into the pudding so it stands upright.
-
Decorate your cemetery. Tuck edible zombie hands into the cookie dirt so they look like they’re reaching out of the ground. Add candy bones or skulls around the gravestone.
-
Serve and enjoy. Grab a spoon and dig in, or refrigerate the pudding until you’re ready to add the toppings and serve.
A Few Tips for Your Cutest Batch
Add milk a little at a time. You want the pudding thick enough to support your gravestone, so start with a small splash and stir before adding more.
Mix up your cookie crumbs. Fine crumbs create the dirt effect, while a few larger pieces add crunch.
Decorate just before serving. Keep the cookies and candy separate until you’re ready to enjoy your cup so the toppings hold their texture.
Make a whole cemetery. Multiply the ingredients by the number of cups you need for a Halloween movie night or party.
How to Store Them
Keep the chocolate pudding covered in the fridge until serving. For the best texture, add the cookie dirt, gravestone, and Halloween decorations just before eating.
