Mini Chocolate Pudding Tarts. Chocolate crust, chocolate pudding and fresh whipped cream! A simple and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion.
Its been a little while since i’ve shared a new recipe with you all and I’ve missed it! We were having computer issues so I haven’t been able to get on here to share. Im certainly making up for it with these decadent Mini Chocolate Pudding Tarts. Yes, I made these for Valentines Day but trust me these are perfect for any special occasion or just because! A simple chocolate cookie crust, chocolate pudding and finished with fresh whipped cream.
Truly, this may look like a complicated desserts with different components but I promise, each is really really easy!!! My friend Natalie gave me the idea a while back about using a chocolate wafer type cookie for a cheesecake crust and it has been a go to several times since. Just 2 ingredients… chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter. The pudding.. yup I used boxed organic chocolate mix because why not! The fresh whipped cream to finish it off is a great contrast to the richness of the chocolate and is really so much better then store bought.
NOTE: This makes 6 mini tarts but if you don’t have the mini tart pans you can do one large one!
- 3.5 oz chocolate pudding {plus ingredients on packaging}
- 6 tbsp butter melted
- 16 chocolate wafer cookies
- Half pint heavy cream
- ½ tsp vanilla
- 1½ tbsp powdered sugar
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- Take the chocolate cookies {not the filled kind! plain chocolate wafer cookies} and place them in a food processor and pulse until they are a fine crumb. Mix with the melted butter.
- Evenly distribute the mixture into the bottoms of the 6 pans. Press the crumbs down and up along the edge of the pan a bit. Place onto a lined baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes. Set aside.
- Prepare the pudding according to the package instructions. Carefully distribute the pudding evenly into the tart pans. Refrigerate for at least an hour.
- For the whipped cream, add the heavy cream, vanilla and powdered sugar into a bowl {will go faster if the bowl is chilled} and using a hand mixer, mix until soft peaks are formed.
- Spread the fresh whipped cream over the cooled tarts and sprinkle with whatever decoration works for you. You can also finish with fresh fruit.
