Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups milk for pudding
  • 1 package vanilla instant pudding mix
  • 1 cup heavy cream chilled for whipping
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar for whipping cream
  • 1 cup graham crackers crushed to resemble dirt
  • several pieces candy tombstones for decoration

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Measuring cups
  • Spatula
  • Serving cups or small glasses
  • Graham cracker crusher or resealable bag and rolling pin
  • Candy tombstone cutters or molds
  • Decorating tools (optional)

Method
 

  1. Pour the milk into a mixing bowl and whisk in the vanilla pudding mix until smooth and slightly thickened. Let it sit for 5 minutes until it firms up to a pudding consistency.
  2. In a separate bowl, whip the chilled heavy cream with granulated sugar using a whisk or electric mixer until stiff peaks form, which takes about 3-4 minutes. Set aside.
  3. Gently fold the whipped cream into the prepared pudding until fully combined, creating a light, airy texture.
  4. Transfer the pudding mixture into individual serving cups or small glasses, filling each about three-quarters full.
  5. Sprinkle crushed graham crackers over the pudding layers to resemble dirt and create a textured, earthy surface.
  6. Trim the candy tombstones if necessary, and insert them into the pudding, standing upright to resemble grave markers.
  7. Optional: use decorating tools or extra candies to add more spooky details around the tombstones for extra effect.
  8. Refrigerate the pudding cups for at least 30 minutes to chill and allow flavors to meld.
  9. Once chilled, serve the Halloween graveyard pudding cups in individual glasses, and enjoy the fun, spooky presentation.

Notes

You can customize the tombstones with different candies or add edible grass for more creepy effect.
