Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Non-dairy chocolate pudding (store-bought or homemade)
- 10 pieces Gluten-free chocolate sandwich cookies
- 10 pieces Gelatin-free gummy worms
- 1 tablespoon Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened almond milk (or your preferred plant-based milk)
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons Chia seeds
- 5 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
1. Start by preparing the base. If you're using store-bought pudding, transfer 4 cups of pudding into a bowl. For homemade pudding, mix unsweetened cocoa powder, unsweetened almond milk, maple syrup, and chia seeds in a blender until smooth. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to thicken.
2. Place the gluten-free chocolate sandwich cookies in a resealable bag and use a rolling pin to crush them into chunky crumbs. These will act as the 'dirt.'
3. In individual serving cups or jars, layer the dessert. Start with a layer of chocolate pudding (about 1/2 cup per serving).
4. Add a layer of the crushed chocolate sandwich cookies to create the 'dirt' effect (approximately 1-2 tablespoons).
5. Repeat the layers until the cup or jar is filled, finishing with a 'dirt' layer on top.
6. Insert two or three gelatin-free gummy worms into the top layer of each cup to create a whimsical effect.
7. Garnish with fresh mint leaves to resemble small plants if desired.
8. Serve immediately, or chill in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours before serving. Enjoy your Guilt Free Dirt Worms Surprise!
