Frosty S'more Cups

Pete is begging me all the time to make him dessert.  He’ll take anything… cakes, cupcakes, pudding… anything.  So I am constantly on Pinterest looking for new and creative recipes.  I came across this recipe for s’more cups and just had to give them a try.  They turned out amazing and Pete has finally left me alone, that is until they are gone.

Frosty S’more Cups

Adapted from Easy Baked

• 18 graham cracker squares (9 sheets or about 1 1/2 cups)
• 1/3 c. Kelapo coconut oil
• 1/2 c. mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1/4 c. whipping cream
• 2 c. mini marshmallows
• 1 1/2 c. cold milk
• 1 box (4 servings, 3.9 oz)instant chocolate pudding
• 1 (8 oz) container of Cool Whip (thawed in fridge)
• 1/4 c. mini chocolate chips (as topping)

1. Crush graham crackers into fine crumbs.
2. Melt coconut oil and add to graham crackers, mixing until well combined to make crust.
3. Prepare pan by placing cupcake liners into a muffin tin.
4. Evenly divide crust mixture into all 12 cups, saving about 1/4 cup to use as topping later. (I used a Mini Tart Shaper to press crumbs firmly into the bottom of each cup).
5. Place milk chocolate chips and whipping cream into a small bowl and microwave in 30 second increments, stirring in between, until melted and smooth.
6. Spoon chocolate into a zip top bag, cut a tip off and evenly pipe chocolate into the center of each cup, on top of the crust.
7. Divide Marshmallows among cups.
8. Mix cold milk with pudding on medium speed for 2 minutes. Fold in 1/2 of the Cool Whip container (the rest will be used as topping).
9. Spoon filling into a large zip top bag (and ZIP it or you might have a mess!)  Clip a corner off and pipe pudding into each cup evenly.  Try to pipe it in between the marshmallows so that the whole cup is filled.  I did have a little left over (which was really tasty straight out of the bag!)
10. Use a knife to smooth the tops level with the top of the pan.
11. Freeze for at least a couple of hours.
12. Allow the pan to warm just a bit before popping each dessert cup out.
13. For topping, I just piped a little bit of the left over Cool Whip on each dessert.  Then I sprinkled the remaining crust and mini chocolate chips on top.
14. Serve cold right away– or put them in a sealed container and freeze until you are ready to serve.

Enjoy!  These would be a perfect Fourth of July dessert!
