Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | In a small bowl, combine all crust ingredients: margarine, butter, sugar substitute, skim milk, and sugar-free instant pudding mix. Toss gently to coat, ensuring the ingredients are well combined. |
| 2 | Divide the mixture evenly among 4 ungreased 6-oz custard cups. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of the cups to form the crust. |
| 3 | Place the filled custard cups in the freezer while you prepare the filling. This step helps to set the crust and prepare it for the creamy filling. |
| 4 | In another small bowl, combine the skim milk and sugar-free instant pudding mix. Beat the mixture until it is well blended, ensuring there are no lumps. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 5 minutes or until you are ready to serve. |
| 5 | Just before serving, spoon the prepared pudding filling into the frozen crusts. The contrast of the creamy filling against the crunchy crust adds to the delightful texture of the dessert. |
| 6 | For an optional garnish, decorate each serving with banana slices or fresh strawberries. This not only enhances the presentation but also adds a fruity sweetness to complement the chocolate flavor. |
| 7 | Store any leftovers in the refrigerator to maintain freshness. These Chocolate Crunch Cups are best enjoyed chilled, making them a refreshing treat on a warm day or after a hearty meal. |
