Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 15.25 ounces yellow cake mix
  • 0.33 cup salted butter melted and cooled

  • 1.75 cups cold whole milk
  • 3.4 ounces instant french vanilla pudding mix

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray 2 mini muffin tins with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Add the cake mix, melted butter, and eggs to a medium bowl. Stir until fully combined and no lumps remain.
  3. Measure 2 to 2.5 teaspoons of dough per mini muffin cup and press into a flat shape at the bottom of each cup.
  4. Bake for 9-10 minutes until golden and puffed.
  5. Cool the cookie cups, then gently press the centers to form a cup shape. Transfer to wire racks.
  6. Meanwhile, combine cold milk and pudding mix in a bowl. Mix with a handheld mixer until thickened, about 1.5-2 minutes.
  7. Transfer pudding to a piping bag or ziplock with a corner snipped.
  8. Pipe pudding into each cookie cup just to the top.
  9. For the ganache, place chocolate chips in a heat-safe bowl. Heat heavy cream for 1 minute until bubbling and pour over chocolate.
  10. Stir until smooth. Spoon a small amount over each filled cookie cup. Chill before serving.
