Main ingredient: granulated sugar
Pairs well with: coleslaw, cornbread, potato salad, baked beans, coffee
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3 cups whole milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 12 chocolate sandwich cookies
- 15 gummy worms
Method
- Whisk the sugar, cocoa, cornstarch and salt in a medium pan until no lumps of cocoa remain.
- Whisk in the milk gradually until smooth. Place over medium heat and cook, whisking constantly, for 6-8 minutes until the pudding comes to a gentle boil and thickens.
- Cook for 1 further minute, then remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla.
- Pour into a bowl, press film onto the surface to prevent a skin forming, and chill for at least 1 hour until set.
- Place the cookies in a bag and crush them with a rolling pin into coarse crumbs resembling soil.
- Spoon the chilled pudding into 5 small cups or jars. Cover each with a thick layer of cookie crumbs.
- Push the gummy worms partway into the crumbs so they look as if they are emerging from the soil. Serve cold.
