Homemade Smore Pudding Pops Recipes

S'MORE POPS

Steps:

• Place crushed crackers in a shallow bowl. Insert 1 lollipop stick into each marshmallow. Dip two-thirds of each marshmallow in melted candy coating; allow excess to drip off. Dip in cracker crumbs, covering about half the chocolate., Place on waxed paper; let stand until set. Store in an airtight container.

CHOCOLATE S'MORES PUDDING

Steps:

• Combine the cream and milk in a large, heavy saucier or saucepan and bring just to a simmer.
• Meanwhile, add the sugar and cornstarch to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, and mix together. Add the egg yolks, vanilla and salt to the mixing bowl just as the cream mixture is coming to a simmer. Beat on medium speed to combine, then slowly pour the hot cream down the sides of the mixing bowl to temper the sugar-egg mixture. Continue beating until smooth.
• Transfer the mixture back to the saucepan and heat over medium-low heat, whisking constantly, until it thickens to the consistency of mayonnaise and is beginning to bubble.
• Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately stir in the chocolate and butter; continue stirring until melted and fully incorporated.
• Immediately divide the pudding among serving cups or pour into one large bowl. Cover with plastic wrap, pressed direct onto the pudding to keep a skin from forming. Refrigerate until set and completely cool, about 2 hours.
• When the pudding is ready to serve, place the graham crackers in a zip-close bag and crush into rough pieces. Place some marshmallow cream in a piping bag and pipe a mound onto each pudding. Lightly brown the top of the marshmallow with a kitchen torch. Sprinkle with graham crackers and serve immediately.

FROZEN S'MORES

Steps:

• Line a 9x13 pan with foil or parchment paper, allowing paper to overhang pan.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together pudding mix and milk until smooth and creamy. Pour into 9x13 pan and spread into an even layer. **See note**
• Chill pudding layer while you mix up the marshmallow layer.
• In a medium bowl, beat together cream cheese and marshmallow cream until smooth. Fold in whipping topping.
• Spread marshmallow layer over chocolate layer. Cover with foil.
• Freeze layers about 6 hours, until firm enough to cut through (freezing time will vary depending on how cold your freezer is). Use the foil or parchment paper to remove layers from 9x13 pan and place on a cutting board.
• Break 15 graham crackers in half. Slice pudding/marshmallow layers into 15 squares the same size as the graham crackers. If your layers have frozen very hard you may want to wait 15 minutes before slicing.
• Sandwich layers in between two graham crackers. (Watch the video in the post for an easy way to do this.)
• Eat right away or store sandwiches in the freezer in an airtight bag or container. Graham crackers will soften slightly if stored in the freezer for a while, and I think that makes these taste even better. After they've been frozen, allow them to rest at room temperature 15-20 minutes before eating for the best texture.

CLASSIC PUDDING POPS

JELL-O® S'MORE MINI PUDDING POPS

• Freeze 2 hours or until firm. Carefully remove frozen pops from trays just before serving.

MARSHMALLOW S'MORES POPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven broiler. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. Lay the marshmallows on the foil, long side facing up (as opposed to standing up on the short end). Place under the broiler and cook until the marshmallows are golden brown and toasted, 10 to 15 seconds. Cool completely on the baking sheet. The marshmallows will firm up again in the center so you can skewer them.
• While the marshmallows cool, put the graham crackers in a resealable plastic bag and seal. Crush with a meat mallet, rolling pin or can until they are fine crumbs with a few small chunks.
• Heat the butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the crumbs and cook, stirring, until toasted and a few shades darker, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat, pour onto a plate and cool completely.
• Once the marshmallows have cooled, skewer them and set aside.
• Finely chop the chocolate and reserve one-quarter of the chocolate separately. Put the rest in a heatproof bowl and set over a small pot with 2 inches of simmering water, making sure the water does not touch the bottom of the bowl. Cook, stirring, until melted and smooth. Remove from the heat and stir in the reserved chopped chocolate until melted. This technique will help the chocolate set hard without having grey streaks, called bloom, on your pops.
• Drizzle the skewered marshmallows with some melted chocolate and sprinkle with crumbs. Set the sticks into the open grids in a wire rack, so they stay upright, until the chocolate is set. Repeat with the remaining marshmallows, chocolate and crumbs.
• Fill a few tall glasses with marshmallows and set the finished pops, stick-side down, into the glasses for serving.

S'MORES DARK CHOCOLATE PUDDINGS

Steps:

• For graham cracker crumb layer:
• Preheat oven to 300°F. Line rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Combine all ingredients in processor. Using on/off turns, blend until coarse crumbs form. Spread crumbs out on prepared baking sheet (if necessary, break up any large pieces with fingertips). Bake until crumbs are crisp, stirring once, about 10 minutes. Cool. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.
• For puddings:
• Whisk sugar, cornstarch, cocoa powder, espresso powder, and salt in heavy medium saucepan. Add egg yolks and whisk to blend (mixture will resemble wet sand). Gradually whisk in milk, then cream. Whisk constantly over medium heat until mixture comes to boil, then boil 30 seconds. Remove from heat. Add chocolate, whiskey, butter, and vanilla; whisk until chocolate and butter melt and mixture is smooth. Let pudding cool slightly, whisking occasionally, about 10 minutes.
• Spoon 1/3 cup pudding into each of six 1-cup glasses; spread evenly. Sprinkle each with graham cracker crumbs, dividing equally. Top each with 1/3 cup pudding, spreading evenly. Cover each with plastic wrap, pressing plastic directly onto pudding. Chill at least 2 hours. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Keep chilled.
• For marshmallow topping:
• Blend all ingredients in large bowl of stand mixer fitted with whisk attachment. Set mixer bowl with egg white mixture over saucepan of simmering water. Using hand whisk, whisk mixture constantly until instant-read thermometer inserted into mixture registers 160°F, about 6 minutes. Attach mixer bowl with egg white mixture to stand mixer again and beat on high speed until marshmallow topping forms stiff peaks, 6 to 8 minutes.
• Top each pudding with 2 large spoonfuls of marshmallow topping, covering top completely and creating peaks, if desired. DO AHEAD: Can be made 2 hours ahead. Chill.
• Using kitchen butane torch, lightly toast marshmallow topping until golden in spots.
