Cup Pudding Recipes

Steps:

• Prepare the vanilla instant pudding according to the package instructions. Once the pudding has set, stir in enough blue food coloring to make the ocean layer.
• Pour the graham cracker crumbs into a glass or plastic cup, reserving about 1 tablespoon on the side. Fill the cup with the blue pudding, leaving about 1 1/2 inches on top. Put a gummy ring around the bear-shaped graham cracker for a floatie, then place it on top of the ocean layer. Sprinkle the reserved crumbs on the side of the cup to create a beach effect.

Steps:

• Place milk and chocolate in a 12-ounce microwave-safe mug or a 2-cup glass measuring cup.
• Microwave on High until hot but not boiling, 60 to 90 seconds. Stir to melt chocolate.
• Stir cornstarch, sugar, and salt together in a small bowl; blend into the milk mixture.
• Microwave on High for 30 seconds, stir, and continue to heat until mixture thickens and just begins to boil, about 15 seconds more.

Steps:

• Put the correct amount of pudding powder and milk into a cup.
• Hold cup firm and stir with spoon.
• Stir until mixed together well and pudding is thick.
• Eat and enjoy!

Steps:

• Grease 2 large cups well.
• Sift together dry ingredients.
• Melt butter in microwave.
• Mix the milk and egg into the butter and add this to the dry ingredients.
• Mix til smooth.
• Spoon half syrup (or jam) into each cup, followed by 1/2 the batter.
• Cover loosely with plastic wrap and microwave for 2 minutes on high.
• Leave to stand for about 5 minutes before turning out onto serving plates.

Steps:

• For the pudding, empty the first six cups and the nuts, if using, into a mixing bowl with the spices, then stir in the milk and egg. Once well combined, tip into a buttered 1.5 litre pudding bowl.
• Cover with a double layer of buttered foil, making a pleat in the centre to allow the pudding to rise.
• Tie the foil securely with string, then place in a steamer or large pan containing enough gently simmering water to come halfway up the sides of the bowl. Steam, covered with a lid, for 2 to 2 1/2 hours.
• Check the water level during cooking, topping up if necessary.
• If you are preparing this pudding ahead, remove the foil, let it cool slightly, then wrap in cling film and then fresh foil. It can be stored in a fridge for up to one week ahead of time. Or, freeze it for up to one month. Defrost overnight.
• If you are serving it immediately, unwrap and invert onto a deep plate.
• For the sauce, put everything in a pan and bring slowly to the boil, stirring. Allow to bubble away for 2-3 minutes, still stirring, until the sugar has dissolved and the sauce is pale caramel in colour and slightly thickened.
• Remove from the heat. Pour the sauce over the pudding and decorate with the whole mixed nuts.
• Serve with a jug of fresh cream or brandy custard.
