How to Make Halloween Pudding Cups
This Halloween Pudding Cups is a sure hit not only for the kids but for the kids at heart! The good thing is you only need 20 minutes to make it.
Step One: Vegan Chocolate Pudding
In a saucepan combine the cornstarch, cocoa powder, and sugar. Stir to combine. Pour half of the soy milk into the mixture and stir to combine. It will be thick, but continue stirring until all the powdery mixture is combined.
Add the remaining soy milk and then place over a burner on medium heat. Bring to a simmer/low boil, continually stirring.
Cook for a minute or two, until the pudding has thickened.
Step Two: Pour and Chill
Remove the pudding from heat and pour it in equal amounts into 2 regular-size cups, or 4 smaller cups. Place the cups in the refrigerator where the mixture will continue to thicken.
Step Three: Halloween Garnishes
Make Candy Pumpkins: Twist the tops off of the four Halloween chocolate sandwich cookies and scrape off the orange filling. Roll each of the four orange filling pieces into a ball and insert a broken pretzel piece into the top. Set aside.
Are you wonder why I didn’t use those candy corn pumpkins? Because they’re made with gelatin and that is not very vegan. In fact, it’s not even vegetarian. So you want to know what I did?
Crush the Oreo Cookies: Use a food processor or rolling pin to crush the chocolate cookies. If you don’t have a food processor, put the cookies in a plastic bag and roll over the bag with a rolling pin to crush the cookies into crumbs.
Create RIP Tombstone: Use a butter knife to gently scrape off the edges of the graham crackers, so that they’re rounded, like a tombstone. Use white frosting to add “RIP” on each graham cracker tombstone. I love using the vegan royal icing from these sugar cookies.
After the pudding has chilled for at least 30 minutes, top each pudding cup with chocolate cookie crumbs.
Place one Graham Cracker Tombstone in each pudding cup. Add two candy pumpkins on each side of the tombstones. Then, return to the pudding cups to fridge to stay chilled until serving.

Best Plant-Based Milk for Pudding
I like to use a rich and creamy plant-based milk for my puddings. My favorite is soy milk, however, cashew milk is another great option. I have used almond milk many times and it works great too.
To make any vegan milk creamier, you can use this process for vegan evaporated milk. Or you can use your own homemade nut milk, such as this pecan milk.
