This dessert features eight servings of chocolate pudding topped with mini pumpkins, green icing vines, and crushed Oreo cookies that mimic soil and a glowing moon.

Ingredients

8 servings premade or homemade chocolate pudding cups

16 mini pumpkins (Mellowcreme pumpkins)

4 Tbsp. icing tinted green (same color as the tops of the mini pumpkins)

1/2 container regular Oreos

Directions

Gently separate each cookie, setting aside the wafer halves that appear most intact to serve as the moon.

Collect the remaining cookie pieces, which will be transformed into the soil for your patch.

Scrape away all the filling from the reserved cookie halves, then process the plain wafers in a blender or food processor until they form fine crumbs.

Spread a layer of the crushed cookie crumbs at the bottom of each pudding cup to create the ground.

Nestle two of the small pumpkins into the cookie soil.

Using a piping bag fitted with a number 2 tip, draw green icing vines around the pumpkins.

Position a cream-filled cookie half at the rear of the cup to complete the lunar backdrop.
