Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups whole milk
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 4 tablespoons cornstarch
- 4 ounces dark chocolate
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup whipped cream
- 6 sheets graham crackers
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 0.25 cup caramel sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, and cornstarch.
Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring there are no lumps in the mixture.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir constantly until the mixture begins to thicken, which should take about 8-10 minutes.
Once thickened, remove from heat and stir in the dark chocolate and vanilla extract until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
Set the pudding aside to cool slightly while you prepare the graham cracker crust.
In a food processor, pulse the graham crackers until they form fine crumbs. Add the melted butter and pulse again until combined.
Press the graham cracker mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch square pan to form an even layer.
Sprinkle the mini marshmallows over the graham cracker crust and drizzle with the caramel sauce. Add a pinch of sea salt on top for a hint of saltiness.
Pour the chocolate pudding over the marshmallow and caramel layer, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Refrigerate the dessert for at least 4 hours, or until the pudding is fully set.
Before serving, top the dessert with dollops of whipped cream and an additional drizzle of caramel sauce, if desired.
Cut into squares and serve chilled. Enjoy the layers of flavors and textures in this mystery pudding dessert!
