@therecipecollector: When the cool October twilight rolls in, I love stepping into the kitchen with friends to whip up extra playful, individual dessert cups! Layering velvety pumpkin-spiced cream with crunchy crushed chocolate cookie "dirt" and topping each glass with a chocolate-piped Milano cookie tombstone is my favorite way to sweeten up our Halloween celebrations. These spooky graveyard pumpkin dirt pudding cups are a frightfully delicious autumn treat. Served in clear dessert glasses, they feature smooth, creamy pumpkin cheesecake pudding under a thick layer of crushed dark chocolate cookie soil, complete with an "RIP" biscuit tombstone. Every decadent, velvety spoonful delivers a heavenly combination of rich pumpkin pie spices, silky smooth cream cheese pudding, and a delightful chocolate cookie crunch! Recipe Basics: Yield: Serves 4 to 6 people Measurements: USA measurements (cups, tablespoons, ounces) Ingredients List: * 1 package (3.4 ounces) instant vanilla pudding mix * 1.5 cups cold milk * 1 cup canned pumpkin puree * 8 ounces cream cheese, softened * 0.5 cup powdered sugar * 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice * 1.5 cups heavy whipping cream * 2 cups chocolate sandwich cookies (such as Oreos), finely crushed * 6 oval Milano cookies or oval biscuits (for tombstones) * 0.25 cup dark chocolate chips, melted (for piping "RIP") Detailed Instructions: 1. Place melted dark chocolate chips in a small piping bag or zip-top bag with the corner snipped off. Carefully pipe "RIP" onto the top half of each oval Milano cookie. Set aside to dry. 2. In a large bowl, whisk together instant vanilla pudding mix and cold milk for 2 minutes until thickened. 3. In a separate bowl, beat softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, pumpkin puree, and pumpkin pie spice until completely smooth and creamy. 4. Fold the pumpkin cream cheese mixture into the prepared vanilla pudding until combined. 5. In another bowl, whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks, then gently fold it into the pumpkin pudding mixture until light and fluffy. 6. Spoon 2 tablespoons of crushed chocolate cookie crumbs into the bottom of 6 clear dessert glasses. 7. Pipe or spoon the velvety pumpkin pudding mixture evenly over the cookie base in each glass. 8. Top each cup with a thick layer of remaining crushed chocolate cookie "dirt" to completely cover the orange pudding layer. 9. Press one chocolate-piped Milano cookie tombstone vertically into the crushed cookie soil of each glass. 10. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving cold with spoons! Chef's notes by NancyG: Tip: Crushing the chocolate sandwich cookies with their cream filling intact gives the "dirt" topping a richer, fudgier texture that holds the cookie tombstones upright! Substitution: Swap instant vanilla pudding for butterscotch or chocolate instant pudding for an extra rich flavor variation. #TheRecipeCollector #NancyGCookOn! #HalloweenTreats #PumpkinDessert #DirtCups
