Keyword cherry jello, chocolate, gravestone, graveyard, halloween, jello, mousse, pudding
Prep Time 30 minutes
Chill time 1 hour
Servings 8 cups

Ingredients

  • 2 boxes instant chocolate pudding 3.4 oz (4 serving size)
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 2 cups crumbled brownie
  • 1 1/2 cups black candy melts
  • 1 teaspoon canola oil optional
  • 1/3 cup chocolate-covered raisins optional
  • silver or white pearl dust (edible)

Instructions

  1. Chill bowl and beater(s) for mixer.

  2. Beat chocolate pudding, milk and heavy whipping cream until peaks form. (This will take several minutes) .

  3. Spoon mixture into eight 9 oz cups, filling evenly, approximately 2/3 of the way to the top.

  4. Transfer cups to the refrigerator for a 1/2 hour to set.

  5. Melt black candy melts in microwave using short 15-30 second intervals, stirring often. Do not over cook chocolate. Stir to completely combine and add 1 teaspoon canola oil or shortening for a super smooth look.

  6. Using a spoon, carefully drop chocolate in graveyard silicone mold, filling halfway to the top. Gently tap the mold on a hard surface evenly to remove air bubbles. Transfer to refrigerate to set.

  7. Once fully set, carefully remove gravestones from silicone mold. (I recommend gently moving the tombstone from the edge of the mold, all the way around on each before trying to pop them out.)

  8. Using a food safe brush, gently brush silver pearl dust on tombstone.

  9. Top chilled cups with crumbled brownie and add a tombstone. Add chocolate covered raisins, and insert plastic shovel spoon (if desired)

  10. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.

Recipe Notes

These mousse cups can be prepared a day in advance and stored covered in the refrigerator until ready to serve. 

Can substitute crumbled cake or chocolate cookies such as Oreo for brownie in this recipe.
