Cup Pudding Food

OCEAN PUDDING CUP

Steps:

• Prepare the vanilla instant pudding according to the package instructions. Once the pudding has set, stir in enough blue food coloring to make the ocean layer.
• Pour the graham cracker crumbs into a glass or plastic cup, reserving about 1 tablespoon on the side. Fill the cup with the blue pudding, leaving about 1 1/2 inches on top. Put a gummy ring around the bear-shaped graham cracker for a floatie, then place it on top of the ocean layer. Sprinkle the reserved crumbs on the side of the cup to create a beach effect.

S'MORES CUPS

Steps:

• Put the marshmallow creme and 2 tablespoons of the heavy cream in a large chilled bowl. Use a hand mixer to beat until the creme is loosened, smooth and shiny. Add the remaining 1/2 cup heavy cream to the bowl and whip to medium peaks, starting on low and then changing to medium speed.
• Put 2 tablespoons of crushed graham crackers in the bottom of each of four 9-ounce plastic tumbler cups. Top with 3 tablespoons marshmallow whipped cream, then 3 tablespoons chocolate pudding. Repeat so you have another layer of each ingredient. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• When ready to serve, place the marshmallows onto skewers. Toast the marshmallows over a hot grill (or on the stove top).
• Place a toasted marshmallow on top of each s'mores cup. Garnish each with a piece of chocolate bar and graham cracker.

SHARK SIGHTING PUDDING CUPS

Steps:

• Prepare the pudding according to the package directions. Once the pudding has set, stir in enough blue food coloring to make the pudding light blue, 3 to 4 drops.
• Place the purple and yellow chew candies in a small microwave-safe dish. Microwave until the chews are just softened, about 10 seconds. Use your hands to mix the chews together until they are a purple-gray color. Flatten the candy into four 2-inch squares and use kitchen shears to cut each into a shark fin. Dust the fins in confectioners' sugar and brush off any excess.
• Whisk the heavy cream in a medium bowl until stiff peaks form, about 3 minutes.
• Remove 1 tablespoon graham cracker crumbs and set aside. Divide the remaining crumbs between 4 clear cups. Add 1/2 cup of the pudding mixture to each cup. Sprinkle the reserved graham cracker crumbs on one side of each cup to mimic a strip of sand on the beach. Spread the whipped cream in a line just behind the sand to make it look like crashing waves. Stick a shark fin in the pudding water. Put a gummy ring on the pudding water and stick a graham cracker bear in the middle. Serve immediately.

LIME PUDDING CUPS

Steps:

• In a saucepan, bring heavy cream, granulated sugar, finely grated lime zest, and a pinch of kosher salt to a boil over medium heat. Cook, stirring often, until reduced to 2 cups, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Remove from heat; stir in fresh lime juice. Let cool 20 minutes, then strain through a fine mesh sieve into a liquid-measuring cup; discard solids. Divide evenly among 6 glasses. Refrigerate until set, about 2 hours. Top cups with lightly sweetened whipped cream, crumbled graham crackers, and more finely grated lime zest; serve.

DIRT CUPS

Steps:

• Beat pudding mix and milk in large bowl with whisk 2 min. Let stand 5 min. Stir in COOL WHIP and 1/2 cup cookie crumbs.
• Spoon into 10 (6- to 7-oz.) paper or plastic cups; top with remaining cookie crumbs.
• Refrigerate 1 hour. Top with fruit snacks just before serving.

SCARY PUDDING CUPS

Steps:

• Melt chocolate in microwave as directed on package. Use a clean small paint brush to paint a monster face on the inside of each of four clear 5-oz. plastic cups with the melted chocolate. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• Add milk and food coloring to dry pudding mix in medium bowl. Beat with wire whisk 2 min. or until well blended. Immediately pour into prepared cups.
• Top with the cookie crumbs. Refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving. Store any leftover desserts in refrigerator.

EASY CHRISTMAS PUDDING

Steps:

• For the pudding, empty the first six cups and the nuts, if using, into a mixing bowl with the spices, then stir in the milk and egg. Once well combined, tip into a buttered 1.5 litre pudding bowl.
• Cover with a double layer of buttered foil, making a pleat in the centre to allow the pudding to rise. Tie the foil securely with string, then place in a steamer or large pan containing enough gently simmering water to come halfway up the sides of the bowl. Steam, covered with a lid, for 2½ hours. Check the water level during cooking, topping up if necessary. If you are preparing this pudding ahead, remove the foil, let it cool slightly, then wrap in cling film and then fresh foil. If you are serving it immediately, unwrap and invert onto a deep plate.
• For the sauce, put everything in a pan and bring slowly to the boil, stirring. Allow to bubble away for 2-3 minutes, still stirring, until the sugar has dissolved and the sauce is pale caramel in colour and slightly thickened. Remove from the heat. Pour the sauce over the pudding and decorate with the whole mixed nuts.

DIRT PUDDING CUPS

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk milk and pudding mix for 2 minutes. Fold in whipped topping. Pulse cookies in a food processor until fine crumbs form or until desired texture is reached. Divide a third of the cookie crumbs and half of the pudding mixture among 10 dessert cups; repeat layers. Top with remaining crumbs. If desired, top with sugar gum succulents, chocolate rocks and edible paper butterflies.

PUDDING IN A CUP

Steps:

• Hold cup firm and stir with spoon.

CUP PUDDING

• Mix til smooth.
• Spoon half syrup (or jam) into each cup, followed by 1/2 the batter.
• Cover loosely with plastic wrap and microwave for 2 minutes on high.
• Leave to stand for about 5 minutes before turning out onto serving plates.

MANGO PUDDING CUPS

Steps:

• Mix to combine 1 cup water with the gelatin in a small saucepan. Let sit for 10 minutes. The mixture will thicken and look a little chunky.
• Meanwhile, blend the mango and coconut milk in a food processor or blender until very smooth. Set aside.
• Heat the gelatin mixture over medium heat and add the sugar and salt. Stir often until the sugar melts and the mixture is back to a fully liquid state, 2 to 3 minutes--the mixture won't reach a simmer but will be quite warm. Remove from the heat then pour in the mango mixture. Whisk until very smooth. Pour into 4 small cups. Set the cups on a plate or small sheet tray and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate until the mango pudding is fully set, at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
• Pour about 1 tablespoon of the sweetened condensed milk onto each cup of mango pudding to create a thin layer. Top each cup with a few cubes of mango and enjoy!

7-CUP STEAMED CHRISTMAS PUDDING WITH BUTTERSCOTCH SAUCE

Steps:

• For the pudding, empty the first six cups and the nuts, if using, into a mixing bowl with the spices, then stir in the milk and egg. Once well combined, tip into a buttered 1.5 litre pudding bowl.
• Cover with a double layer of buttered foil, making a pleat in the centre to allow the pudding to rise.
• Tie the foil securely with string, then place in a steamer or large pan containing enough gently simmering water to come halfway up the sides of the bowl. Steam, covered with a lid, for 2 to 2 1/2 hours.
• Check the water level during cooking, topping up if necessary.
• If you are preparing this pudding ahead, remove the foil, let it cool slightly, then wrap in cling film and then fresh foil. It can be stored in a fridge for up to one week ahead of time. Or, freeze it for up to one month. Defrost overnight.
• If you are serving it immediately, unwrap and invert onto a deep plate.
• For the sauce, put everything in a pan and bring slowly to the boil, stirring. Allow to bubble away for 2-3 minutes, still stirring, until the sugar has dissolved and the sauce is pale caramel in colour and slightly thickened.
• Remove from the heat. Pour the sauce over the pudding and decorate with the whole mixed nuts.
• Serve with a jug of fresh cream or brandy custard.

FRUIT PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350, and while it preheats, place 1 stick of butter or margerine in a 9 X 13 or smaller deeper baking dish, in the oven until butter melts.(9x13 makes a nice size, but it comes out kind of thin.).
• Mix sugar, flour, baking powder, salt, and milk together, by hand until smooth.
• In pan with melted butter, add batter, making sure it covers most of the bottom of the pan.
• Drain fruit, and spoon on top of batter evenly, so batter is evenly covered with fruit.
• Bake at 350 for 40 minutes.
