RIP Halloween Dessert Shooters are a spooky and delicious treat featuring creamy pudding topped with Oreo cookie crumbs and chocolate-coated ladyfinger gravestones decorated with royal icing. Perfect for Halloween parties or themed gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
Soil
- 12 Oreo cookies
- 1 packet pudding powder of your choice (1.4 ounces/43 grams)
Gravestones
- 2 ounces semisweet chocolate or dark chocolate (60 grams)
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 12 ladyfingers
- 1 tablespoon egg white
- 5 tablespoons powdered sugar, sifted
Instructions
- Prepare Oreo Soil: Scrape the white filling from each Oreo cookie and place it in a bowl. Set it aside. Put all the Oreo cookies in a food processor and process for a few seconds until you have a crumb-like texture.
- Make Pudding Layer: Prepare the pudding according to the packet instructions. While still hot, stir in the reserved Oreo filling until well combined. Allow the pudding to cool slightly before pouring it into small glasses. Fill each glass halfway to leave room for Oreo crumbs and the gravestone topper. Refrigerate the glasses to set.
- Melt Chocolate for Gravestones: Melt the chocolate and butter together over a pot of simmering water until smooth.
- Prepare Ladyfinger Gravestones: Cut each ladyfinger in half. Using a spatula, spread the melted chocolate evenly over each ladyfinger half. Place them onto baking paper and allow the chocolate to set completely.
- Make Royal Icing: Whisk the egg white with sifted powdered sugar until smooth and slightly foamy using a fork. Transfer the icing into a ziplock bag and cut a tiny hole in one corner.
- Decorate Gravestones: Once the chocolate has set, pipe ‘RIP’ onto each ladyfinger gravestone using the royal icing.
- Assemble Dessert Shooters: After the pudding has set, top each glass with Oreo crumbs and insert one decorated ladyfinger gravestone into each shooter. Store the assembled shooters in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Notes
- The glasses used for these dessert shooters hold about 1.5 ounces (45 ml) each.
- You can use any flavor of pudding powder according to your preference.
- For easier piping, slightly warm the royal icing if it becomes too stiff.
- Store the shooters in the refrigerator to keep the pudding fresh and the chocolate firm.
- To make the process faster, prepare the Oreos and pudding in advance and assemble just before serving.
