Servings 36 cookie cups

Ingredients
  

  • 1 box about 15.25 ounces yellow cake mix
  • 1/3 cup butter softened
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 3.4 ounces package instant vanilla pudding
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 ¼ cup heavy whipping cream divided
  • ¼ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a mini muffin pan with non-stick spray.
  • In a large bowl, mix cake mix, butter, and eggs until soft dough forms.
  • Scoop dough by rounded teaspoons into mini muffin wells (about 36 total), filling each about 2/3 full.
  • Bake for 9–10 minutes or until set. Cool in pan for 5 minutes.
  • Press the center of each cookie with a mini tart shaper or the end of a wooden spoon to form a well. Loosen edges with a butter knife and cool completely on a wire rack.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together milk and pudding mix; set aside to thicken.
  • In a separate bowl, beat 1 cup heavy cream to stiff peaks. Fold in the pudding mixture and beat until smooth. Transfer to a zip-top bag, snip the corner, and pipe cream into each cookie cup.
  • In a microwave-safe bowl, combine remaining ¼ cup cream and chocolate chips. Microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and glossy.
  • Spoon chocolate over each cookie cup. Serve immediately or refrigerate up to 3 days.

Notes

  • These cookie cups have a soft, cake-like texture.
  • No microwave? Melt the ganache in a small saucepan over low heat.
  • A 48-well mini muffin pan lets you bake all at once. A 24-well pan will require baking in two batches.
