Instructions

  • Whisk together your cornstarch and coconut milk in a cold pot until smooth.
  • Add the cocoa powder and maple syrup to the pot. Whisk until well combined. Bring to a slow boil while whisking quickly to keep the mixture from burning. Continue to boil and stir for 5 minutes until thickened.

  • Remove from heat and set aside to cool. You can transfer to a shallow pan and place in the fridge to cool faster. You also don't need to let it cool if you're impatient like me!

  • Crush the Oreos by either putting them in a ziplock bag and hitting them with a rolling pin or other heavy object. Or, put them in a food processor and pulse until a fine crumb forms. Use the whole Oreo when doing this, filling and cookies.
  • Transfer the cooled "dirt pudding" to individual cups. We suggest the pudding layer to be about two inches thick. Top the pudding with the crushed Oreos (this is the chocolate cookie dirt) and candy.

Notes

Helpful Tips
  • To keep the top of the pudding from forming a film: Press plastic wrap onto the top of the pudding mixture, so it's just touching. This keeps the pudding from forming a film over the top while it cools. If a film does form, simply scrape off the top and then stir until smooth.
  •  Using glass jars: If using glass jars, you can transfer the pudding right away, but if using plastic cups, the pudding should cool for a bit first.
