Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups of high-quality chocolate pudding (preferably homemade for better flavor and texture)
- 1 cup of heavy cream
- 1/2 cup of sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Black food coloring or activated charcoal powder (for the dark, shadowy appearance)
- Gummy worms or shadow monsters gummies (for decoration)
- Chocolate cookie crumbs (for the “ground” effect)
- Optional: edible glitter or shimmering black sprinkles
Instructions
- Start by mixing 2 cups of smooth chocolate pudding in a large bowl.
- In a separate bowl, whip 1 cup of heavy cream until soft peaks form, then fold into the pudding for extra richness.
- Add 1/2 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla, and a few drops of black food coloring or activated charcoal to achieve the dark, shadowy color.
- Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined and the pudding has a deep, dark hue.
- Pour the pudding into individual serving cups or bowls.
- Top with chocolate cookie crumbs to recreate the shadowy ground of the Upside Down.
- Add gummy worms or shadow monsters gummies on top for a creepy, monster-like appearance.
- Sprinkle with edible glitter or shimmering black sprinkles for an added mystical effect.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to let flavors meld and the pudding to firm up.
Notes
- For an extra spooky effect, use black or dark-colored serving cups.
- Adjust the amount of black food coloring or charcoal for a darker or lighter appearance.
- Decorate just before serving to keep the gummy worms and gummy shadow monsters fresh and sticky.
