Ingredients
- 2 cups (480 ml) cold milk
- 1 package (8 oz / 226 g) cream cheese, softened
- 1 box (3.9 oz / 110 g) instant chocolate pudding mix
- 1 cup whipped topping, thawed
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 3 tbsps butter, melted
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- ¼ cup mini chocolate chips
- 46 whole graham crackers
- Optional: toasted marshmallows or extra whipped topping for garnish
Instructions
- Graham Cracker Base: Combine graham cracker crumbs with melted butter, pressing firmly into the bottom of serving glasses to create a solid, crunchy foundation.
- Cheesecake Layer: Whisk cream cheese and powdered sugar until ultra-smooth, then gently incorporate whipped topping to develop a light, creamy texture that blankets the graham cracker base.
- Chocolate Pudding Infusion: Blend chocolate pudding mix with cold milk, stirring until a silky, rich consistency develops, then carefully pour over the cheesecake layer.
- Decorative Finale: Generously scatter mini marshmallows and chocolate chips across the surface, strategically positioning a graham cracker fragment for added crunch and visual intrigue.
- Chilling Technique: Refrigerate the assembled dessert cups for at least 60 minutes, allowing the layers to meld and solidify into a perfectly chilled, decadent treat. Optional: Torch marshmallow topping or crown with a delicate swirl of whipped cream before serving for an extra touch of elegance.
Notes
Prepare Graham Cracker Base Carefully: Press crumbs firmly and evenly to create a compact, sturdy foundation that won’t crumble when serving.
Whip Cream Cheese Technique: Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for smoother blending, preventing lumps and achieving a silky-smooth texture.
Control Pudding Consistency: Whisk pudding mix thoroughly and chill immediately to prevent separation and maintain a rich, creamy consistency.
Layering Strategic Approach: Allow each layer to set slightly before adding the next, preventing mixing and maintaining distinct, beautiful visual separation between components.
