Description
A quick and fun no-bake dessert featuring layers of crushed Oreos, creamy chocolate pudding, whipped topping, and gummy worms, perfect for celebrations and grad parties.
Ingredients
Scale
- About 25 whole Oreo cookies, crushed finely
- 2 packets (3.9 oz each) instant chocolate pudding mix
- 3 cups (720 ml) milk, preferably whole milk or 2%
- 1 cup (240 ml) whipped topping, store-bought or homemade whipped cream
- A handful of gummy worms for decoration
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional: mini chocolate chips or crushed peanuts for extra texture
Instructions
- Crush about 25 Oreo cookies in a food processor until fine crumbs form, or place cookies in a zip-top bag and crush with a rolling pin until fine with some texture.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 packets of instant chocolate pudding mix, 3 cups cold milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract for about 2 minutes until thickened. Let set for 5 minutes.
- If using homemade whipped topping, whip 1 cup heavy cream until soft peaks form. If store-bought, gently stir before use.
- Layer the dessert by spooning 2 tablespoons of crushed Oreos into the bottom of each serving cup, followed by 1/3 cup pudding, then 2 tablespoons whipped topping. Repeat layers until cups are nearly full, finishing with Oreo crumbs on top.
- Place 2 or 3 gummy worms on top of each cup for decoration.
- Refrigerate the dirt cups for at least 1 hour before serving to allow flavors to meld and pudding to firm up.
Notes
Do not pulverize Oreos into powder; keep some texture for authentic dirt look. Whisk pudding mix for full 2 minutes for best consistency. Whip cream until soft peaks form to avoid butter. Layer carefully for neat presentation. Chill at least 1 hour before serving. Store leftovers covered in refrigerator up to 3 days. Avoid microwaving to prevent melting.
