Ingredients
For the Graham Cracker Crust:
-
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
-
1/4 cup granulated sugar
-
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
-
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
For the Chocolate Pudding:
-
2 cups whole milk
-
1/2 cup granulated sugar
-
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
-
2 tablespoons cornstarch
-
1/4 teaspoon salt
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
For the Marshmallow Topping:
-
1 1/2 cups mini marshmallows
Instructions
Make the Graham Cracker Crust:
-
In a medium bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and cinnamon (if using).
-
Stir in the melted butter until the mixture is evenly combined and looks like wet sand.
-
Divide the crust mixture evenly among 6 small dessert cups or jars (about 1/4 cup each) and press down firmly to create a crust. Set aside.
Make the Chocolate Pudding:
-
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the milk, sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt over medium heat.
-
Bring to a simmer, whisking constantly. Continue cooking for 2–3 minutes until the pudding thickens and starts to bubble.
-
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and butter until smooth.
-
Pour the chocolate pudding into each dessert cup over the graham cracker crust. Let it cool to room temperature, then chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour, or until ready to serve.
Toast the Marshmallows:
-
Before serving, preheat your broiler. Place the mini marshmallows in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
-
Broil the marshmallows for 1–2 minutes, watching closely, until they are golden brown and toasted. Remove from the oven.
Assemble the S’mores Pudding Cups:
-
Once the pudding has set, top each cup with a layer of toasted marshmallows.
-
Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to enjoy!
Notes
-
If you prefer not to use a broiler, you can toast the marshmallows with a kitchen torch for that perfect golden-brown color.
-
For a more decadent treat, drizzle with chocolate syrup or sprinkle some extra graham cracker crumbs on top.
-
These are perfect for parties or gatherings, and you can make them ahead of time!
