1 package (90 g) of instant chocolate pudding mix
1.5 cups of milk
1.5 cups heavy whipping cream

20 candy eyeballs
0.5 cup white chocolate discs, melted

Recipes with similar ingredients: chocolate pudding, milk, cream, cocoa, white chocolate, chocolate cookies, marmalade

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:

In a large bowl, combine the instant pudding mix and milk until smooth. Let sit until slightly set, about 5 minutes.
In another large bowl, beat the heavy cream with a mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, about 2 minutes. Add the cocoa powder and beat on high speed until stiff peaks form, about 1 minute. Fold one-third of the whipped cream into the pudding and fold in, then gently fold in the remaining whipped cream and fold in with a spatula.

Divide half the pudding among 6 clear glasses or goblets, filling them about halfway. Top each with 1 tablespoon of crushed cookies, then arrange 2-3 gummy worms and 3-4 googly eyes, pressing them against the side of the glass so they are visible.
Spoon another 1 heaping tablespoon of crushed cookies and the remaining 1/3 cup of pudding into each glass, then top with another 2 heaping tablespoons of crushed cookies. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Cobweb: You will need a pastry bag fitted with a medium round tip (or a disposable pastry bag).

Line a baking sheet with kitchen towels. Fill a large bowl with crushed ice and a small amount of water. Press the ice down so the surface is as flat as possible.
Transfer the melted white chocolate to a piping bag. Pipe four intersecting lines onto the ice to form an 8-cm star, then pipe a circle inside the star and a smaller circle inside the first circle. Let the web set for 10-15 seconds, then carefully transfer it to the prepared baking sheet. Repeat this process to make 8 webs; since they are fragile, we recommend making a couple of extra ones.
To make the spiders, lay the gummy bears flat side up. Using kitchen scissors, cut three narrow triangles from each short end, creating four legs on each side of each spider.
Place a spider web on each cup of soil, then place a spider on top. Serve cold.
