Easy Chocolate Pudding Pie Jars from Scratch
Serves : 6 servings
Ingredients
For the Graham Cracker Crust
- 3 graham crackers
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
For the Chocolate Pudding
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- a pinch of kosher salt
- 2 cups milk (I used 2%)
- 3/4 cups heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 3/4 cups chocolate chips (I used a combination of milk chocolate and semi-sweet)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cups heavy cream, whipped to soft peaks with 1 tablespoon granulated sugar.
- chocolate curls, for garnish*
Directions:
- Process the graham crackers in a food processor or mini-chopper until fine. Add the melted butter and toss together. Place about 1 1/2 tablespoons of the mixture in each of the bottoms of six 4-ounce jars.
- Place the sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a small pot and whisk to combine. Gradually pour in the milk, while whisking. Stir in the cream and add the butter. Heat over medium-high heat, whisking, until the mixture thickens and comes to a bubble. Turn off the heat and stir in the chocolate chips and vanilla extract. Spoon the pudding into the prepared jars, and top with whipped cream and chocolate curls.
