Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (14.3 oz) Oreo cookies
  • 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 container (12 oz) frozen whipped topping, thawed
  • 2 packages (3.9 oz each) instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 3 cups cold milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Gummy worms for decoration (optional)

Instructions

  1. Crush all Oreo cookies in a food processor until they resemble fine dirt. Set aside about 1 cup of the crumbs for the top layer.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and softened butter together until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and mix until fully combined.
  3. Fold in the thawed whipped topping until the mixture is uniform. Set this cream cheese mixture aside.
  4. In a separate large bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and cold milk until the mixture thickens, about 2 minutes. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gently fold the cream cheese mixture into the chocolate pudding mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. In a large trifle dish or 9×13 inch pan, create the first layer by spreading half of the crushed Oreos on the bottom.
  7. Spread half of the creamy pudding mixture evenly over the cookie layer.
  8. Repeat the layers: add the remaining crushed Oreos, then top with the remaining pudding mixture.
  9. Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the dessert to set.
  10. Before serving, sprinkle the reserved 1 cup of crushed Oreos over the top layer to resemble dirt. If using, press gummy worms into the top layer.

Notes

  • For individual servings, assemble this recipe in small clear cups to make Dirt Cups.
  • If you do not have a food processor, place the Oreos in a large zip-top bag and crush them using a rolling pin.
  • You can substitute instant vanilla pudding for one of the chocolate pudding packages for a cookies and cream flavor variation.
