Ingredients

Scale

Pudding Base

  • 2 cans 13.5-ounce full-fat coconut milk
  • ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • 4 teaspoons unflavored gelatin
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Toppings

  • 1 cup gluten-free chocolate sandwich cookies, crushed
  • 1 cup gummy worms


Instructions

  1. Heat the Coconut Milk: In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, warm the coconut milk over medium heat until it reaches a simmer, ensuring it does not boil over.
  2. Blend Ingredients: Pour the warm coconut milk into a blender and add the cocoa powder, maple syrup, unflavored gelatin, and vanilla extract. Blend the mixture until smooth and fully combined.
  3. Transfer and Chill: Pour the blended pudding into five 4-ounce jars or disposable plastic cups. Refrigerate for 3 to 4 hours until the pudding is set and firm.
  4. Add Toppings: Just before serving, sprinkle the crushed gluten-free chocolate sandwich cookies on top of each pudding cup and decorate with the gummy worms.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Present your Dairy-Free Dirt Worm Pudding chilled, and enjoy this fun, creamy dessert.

Notes

  • For a creamier pudding texture, you can decrease the amount of gelatin used.
  • If you prefer a vegetarian version, substitute gelatin with agar-agar powder according to package instructions.
  • Ensure the gummy worms used are free from gelatin if looking for a completely gelatin-free dessert.
  • Use full-fat coconut milk for the best creamy texture and flavor.
  • The pudding can be prepared up to a day in advance and stored covered in the refrigerator.
