One of my fondest memories of summer includes making s’mores around the grill after dinner. But going gluten free in 2008 definitely put a stop to this practice. Thanks to this simple recipe, these fun gluten free s’mores pudding cups bring back fond memories!
Summer is all about getting people together and eating outdoors to enjoy the fresh air! Lighter recipes compliment grilled foods making them a huge hit. (Here’s one of my absolute favorite summer party gluten free recipe guides!)
Plus this recipe is great for kids (or the grand kids) to both help assemble and eat. Now you don’t have to worry that they’ll get too close to the fire or burn their mouth on super hot gluten free s’mores.
Gluten Free S’mores Pudding Cups Recipe
The pudding is made with so few ingredients. It’s possible to upgrade some of the ingredients if you want to make your gluten free s’mores pudding cups healthier.
You can also make the recipe to go further by serving smaller portions. Instead of using a full mason jar, you could easily use a shorter glass, dish, or mason jam jar.
The pudding can be made ahead of time so that you can quickly assemble the individual desserts just before serving them.
Either way, this is a super easy recipe that you can make ahead of time and assemble at a party or a BBQ that everyone will love. Plus all of the ingredients are vegan so those who are plant-based will be able to enjoy this yummy gluten free dessert!
Permission to Eat Freely
It’s a big deal to be able to eat “like a normal person”.
When I discovered 10 years ago that I couldn’t eat gluten, dairy or eggs, I was in a total panic.
Do you remember what that feels like? I felt so paralyzed every time I went to the grocery store because I didn’t know what to buy.
Thankfully, Enjoy Life Foods was the first brand I found that had all my bases covered. They helped me transition from feeling like I couldn’t eat anything to having safe options that I could enjoy (and feel like a normal person again).
I’m forever grateful for their commitment to not just being gluten-free, but also being safe from the top 8 allergens. They truly go above and beyond for their customers to ensure that their products are safe.
No matter where you’re headed this summer, you can easily bring their products with you.
Either way, do yourself a favor and check them out… they’ve changed my gluten-free life for the better!
About the Gluten Free S’mores Pudding Cup Ingredients
There are the list of gluten free ingredients that can be purchased on Amazon I use to make this gluten free s’mores pudding cup recipe:
- Enjoy Life Foods Crunchy Vanilla Honey Graham Mini Cookies
- Enjoy Life Foods boomCHOCOboom Ricemilk Chocolate Bar – dairy-free and soy-free chocolate that you’ll love!
- Enjoy Life Foods Mini Chips – did you know they’re paleo?
All of these Enjoy Life Products can be found on their shop HERE if they aren’t available locally.
Gluten free tapioca starch – The lower carb option to use is kudzu starch. A lot goes a long way and will produce the same result.
Gluten free chickpea flour – Since there is such a high rate of cross contamination, you must look for a flour that’s clearly marked gluten-free. While there are plenty of chickpea flours available online, not all have been produced in a way that is safe for you.
Gluten free vanilla extract – If you don’t know, not all vanilla extract is gluten free. That’s why you’ve got to double check that the vanilla extract you buy is clearly marked gluten free rather than relying on ingredients lists that can hide gluten.
Coconut palm sugar – Lower GI sugar with more minerals than regular sugar, coconut palm sugar is a great alternative that can be used 1-for-1 in recipes. I prefer it over white sugar that’s exposed to a lot of pesticides and is NOT vegan (due to bone char used in the decolorizing process).

Gluten-Free S’mores Pudding Cups Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups dairy-free milk Note: please save 1/2 cup for additional step in recipe
- 1/4 cup Coconut palm sugar
- 1/3 cup chickpea flour
- 1/4 cup tapioca starch (or kudzu starch)
- 1 tablespoon gluten-free vanilla extract
- 1 cup Enjoy Life Foods Mini Chips Note: have extra on hand to add into the cups
Instructions
- Pour 2 cups of dairy-free milk into a medium saucepan and whisk in the sugar. Bring to a simmer and stir until sugar is dissolved.
- In a small bowl whisk together the chickpea flour, additional ½ cup dairy-free milk and the tapioca starch until thoroughly blended. Drizzle into the warmed milk and stir until thickened, keeping on low-medium heat. This mixture will continue to thicken as it cools, so don’t worry if it doesn't look too thick.
- Remove from heat and pour into a glass bowl, then stir in the vanilla. Top with plastic wrap to prevent skin from forming. Put in refrigerator to chill, or put aside to cool down.
- Stir the Mini Chips into the cooled pudding.
- Layer about 4 Crunchy Vanilla Honey Graham Mini Cookies in the bottom of fun glass jars or bowl. Then add in a spoonful of extra Mini Chips and top with a few spoonfuls of the pudding. Continue layering until you have used all the pudding.
- Finish with some more cookies and a square of Ricemilk Chocolate.
Recipe Notes
You can easily make the pudding ahead of time and allow it to sit in the fridge. I would recommend assembling the cups not long before they are served so that the cookies retain their crunch!
