Lactose-Free Dirt Cake Cups

Directions

1. In a saucepan, whisk together cocoa powder, cornflour, sugar, and salt. Slowly add the lactose-free milk, whisking constantly to avoid lumps.

2. Cook over medium heat, whisking until the mixture thickens and starts to bubble, about 5–7 minutes.

3. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla and chocolate (if using), and let cool to room temperature.

4. Once slightly cooled, transfer to the fridge and chill for 30 minutes to an hour until fully set.

5. Blitz the sandwich cookies in a food processor (or place in a sealed bag and crush with a rolling pin) until they resemble fine “dirt.”

6. In small cups or jars, layer crushed cookies, pudding mixture, and repeat until full. Finish with a layer of cookie “dirt” on top.

7. Add a few gummy worms on top of each cup for a fun, earthy look.

8. Refrigerate the assembled cups for 1 hour to set. Serve chilled with spoons and smiles!
