Ingredients
  

Graham cracker layer
  • 1.5 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 4 tbsp butter melted
  • 2 tbsp sugar
Chocolate pudding
  • 7.8 oz instant chocolate pudding (2 boxes, 3.9 oz each)
  • 3 cup cold whole milk
Marshmallow layer
  • 1.5 cup marshmallow fluff
  • 4 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup whipped topping
Garnish
  • 1 mini marshmallows
  • 1 chocolate shavings

Method
 

Make the graham cracker crumble
  1. Combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until evenly mixed, then set aside for layering.
  2. Spoon a portion into each of 6 individual cups to form the first graham cracker pudding cup layer.
Make the instant chocolate pudding
  1. Whisk instant chocolate pudding mix and cold whole milk for 2 minutes until thickened, with a smooth, spoonable texture.
  2. Refrigerate the chocolate pudding for 5 minutes to help it set slightly before assembling the cups.
Make the marshmallow cream
  1. Beat marshmallow fluff and softened cream cheese together until smooth, glossy, and free of lumps.
  2. Fold in whipped topping until the mixture is light and fluffy, then use immediately for best texture.
Assemble the pudding cups
  1. Layer the cups with chocolate pudding over the graham cracker crumble, keeping the top even.
  2. Add marshmallow cream on top of the chocolate pudding, then repeat the graham cracker, chocolate pudding, and marshmallow layers in each cup to match the three distinct levels.
  3. Finish each cup with extra graham cracker crumble, then top with mini marshmallows and chocolate shavings.
Chill and serve
  1. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours so the layers firm up and slice cleanly.
  2. Just before serving, torch the mini marshmallows if desired for a lightly toasted campfire look.

Notes

Pro tip: For the cleanest layered look in clear cups, add the pudding and marshmallow cream slowly so they settle without mixing. Refrigerate covered up to 3 days; the cups are not freezer-friendly. For a dairy-light swap, use reduced-fat cream cheese and fat-reduced whipped topping, keeping the texture airy but lighter.
