Ingredients

2 cups milk
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup cocoa powder
3 tbsp cornstarch
1/4 tsp salt
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups crushed graham crackers
2 tbsp butter
2 cups marshmallows

Instructions

Step 1: In a saucepan, whisk together the milk, sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat.
Step 2: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs. Gradually pour some of the hot milk mixture into the eggs, stirring constantly to temper them. Return this mixture to the saucepan.
Step 3: Cook the combined mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly until it thickens into pudding.
Step 4: Melt the butter and mix it with the crushed graham crackers. Press this mixture firmly into the bottoms of your serving cups to form a crust.
Step 5: Pour the chocolate pudding over the graham cracker crust in each cup.
Step 6: Sprinkle crushed graham crackers and marshmallows on top of the pudding.
Step 7: Chill the cups in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to set.
Step 8: Just before serving, place the cups under a broiler and toast the marshmallows until golden. Watch closely to avoid burning.

Tips & Variations

Use mini marshmallows for more even toasting or chocolate chips for extra richness in the pudding layer.
If you prefer a firmer crust, bake the graham cracker mixture briefly before assembling.
For a fun twist, add a layer of peanut butter or drizzle caramel over the marshmallows before chilling.

Storage

Store assembled pudding cups covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For best results, toast the marshmallows fresh before serving, as they soften during refrigeration and reheating.

FAQs

Can I use a different milk for the pudding?

Yes, you can substitute whole milk with almond, oat, or soy milk, but this may slightly alter the texture and flavor of the pudding.

How do I prevent the marshmallows from burning under the broiler?

Keep a close eye on the marshmallows while broiling as they toast very quickly. Place the cups on a middle rack and broil for just 1-2 minutes until golden.
