Graveyard pudding cups with cookie tombstones, cookie dirt and gummy worms

Dirt cups are a Halloween classic, and this version gets a little upgrade: Chocolate MycoProtein whisked right into the pudding for about 10g of plant protein per cup. Then come the fun parts: cookie “dirt,” gummy worms and a cookie tombstone on top.

They take about 15 minutes to put together and 30 minutes to chill. That makes them a great make-ahead dessert for a Halloween party, a classroom treat or a family movie night.

Why you’ll love it

  • No baking. Just whisk, layer and chill.
  • Great with kids. Little hands can crush the cookies, write RIP and hide the worms.
  • Make ahead. Build them in the morning and they’re ready by trick-or-treat time.

Tips and swaps

  • Use cold milk. Dairy milk sets the firmest. If you use plant milk, choose a thicker one like oat or soy and give it a little longer in the fridge.
  • Whisk the scoop first. Mixing the MycoProtein into the milk before the pudding mix keeps it smooth and clump-free.
  • Easy crumbs. Put the cookies in a zip-top bag and roll over them with a rolling pin.

Make it a full graveyard

Make it in one big glass dish instead of cups, line up a row of cookie tombstones, and add a few candy pumpkins or a crushed green cookie “grass” patch. Set out spoons and watch it disappear.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cold milk (dairy sets firmest)
  • 4 scoops (80g) Chocolate MycoProtein
  • 1 box (3.9 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 8 chocolate sandwich cookies, crushed
  • 4 oval cookies, for tombstones
  • Gummy worms, for topping
  • Writing icing (optional)

Steps

  1. Whisk the MycoProtein into the cold milk until smooth.
  2. Whisk in the pudding mix for 2 minutes, then let it sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
  3. Spoon the pudding into 4 cups and cover each with crushed cookie dirt.
  4. Write RIP on the oval cookies with icing and push one into each cup as a tombstone.
  5. Add a gummy worm or two and chill for 30 minutes before serving.
