Homemade Pudding Cups Recipes

HOMEMADE PUDDING CUPS RECIPE

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, whisk together the half and half, sugar, cocoa powder, and salt before turning on the heat. Once the ingredients are mixed, turn the heat on to low.
• Bring the mixture to a steep until it just begins to steam. While it heats, crack and separate 4 eggs. Place the yolks into a small mixing bowl.
• When the half and half mixture starts steaming, turn off the heat. Pour a small amount of the warm mixture (about ¼ cup) into the egg yolks and whisk to combine. This will bring the yolks to the same temperature as the milk mixture without cooking them. Pour the egg yolks into the milk mixture and adjust the heat to medium.
• Put the heat back onto low and slowly heat the pudding. Whisk continuously until thickened, about 8 to 10 minutes. Then turn off the heat. When ready, the pudding will coat the back of a spoon when it's the proper thickness.
• Pour the pudding through a mesh sieve to ensure no lumps remain. The pudding can be chilled in one large container or 4 smaller serving containers. Cover with plastic wrap and make sure the plastic wrap touches the pudding to keep a film from forming on the surface. Chill completely before serving.

OCEAN PUDDING CUP

Steps:

• Prepare the vanilla instant pudding according to the package instructions. Once the pudding has set, stir in enough blue food coloring to make the ocean layer.
• Pour the graham cracker crumbs into a glass or plastic cup, reserving about 1 tablespoon on the side. Fill the cup with the blue pudding, leaving about 1 1/2 inches on top. Put a gummy ring around the bear-shaped graham cracker for a floatie, then place it on top of the ocean layer. Sprinkle the reserved crumbs on the side of the cup to create a beach effect.

MANGO PUDDING CUPS

Steps:

• Mix to combine 1 cup water with the gelatin in a small saucepan. Let sit for 10 minutes. The mixture will thicken and look a little chunky.
• Meanwhile, blend the mango and coconut milk in a food processor or blender until very smooth. Set aside.
• Heat the gelatin mixture over medium heat and add the sugar and salt. Stir often until the sugar melts and the mixture is back to a fully liquid state, 2 to 3 minutes--the mixture won't reach a simmer but will be quite warm. Remove from the heat then pour in the mango mixture. Whisk until very smooth. Pour into 4 small cups. Set the cups on a plate or small sheet tray and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate until the mango pudding is fully set, at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
• Pour about 1 tablespoon of the sweetened condensed milk onto each cup of mango pudding to create a thin layer. Top each cup with a few cubes of mango and enjoy!

VANILLA PUDDING

• In 2-quart saucepan, mix sugar, cornstarch and salt. Gradually stir in milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and boils. Boil and stir 1 minute.

• Pour pudding into dessert dishes. Cover and refrigerate about 1 hour or until chilled. Store covered in refrigerator.
