Make this simple, creamy Oreo Dirt Cake dessert. It uses crushed cookies, chocolate pudding, and a cream cheese base, perfect for parties or as a fun kids’ treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 container (12 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed
  • 2 packages (3.9 ounces each) instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 3 cups cold milk
  • 1 package (14.3 ounces) Oreo cookies, crushed into fine crumbs
  • Gummy worms, for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until smooth.
  2. Gradually add the powdered sugar to the cream cheese mixture and beat until fully combined.
  3. Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping until the mixture is uniform. Set this creamy base aside.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and cold milk for about two minutes, until the pudding begins to thicken.
  5. Gently fold the thickened chocolate pudding into the cream cheese mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Crush the Oreo cookies until they resemble fine dirt. Set aside about 1 cup of crumbs for the top layer.
  7. Prepare individual serving cups or a large trifle dish.
  8. Create the first layer by placing a layer of crushed Oreos at the bottom of each cup.
  9. Spoon or pipe the chocolate cream mixture over the cookie layer.
  10. Repeat the layers: cookie crumbs, then cream mixture, until the cups are full, ending with a layer of cream mixture on top.
  11. Sprinkle the reserved crushed Oreos over the top layer to create the ‘dirt’ look.
  12. Press a few gummy worms into the top layer of crumbs for decoration.
  13. Chill the dirt cake cups for at least four hours, or until firm.

Notes

  • For the best texture, crush the Oreos in a food processor, leaving some slightly larger pieces for variety.
  • You can prepare this dessert one day ahead of time. Cover and refrigerate.
  • If you are looking for alternatives to traditional baking, this recipe is a great option, similar to some no-bake cheesecake desserts.
  • This recipe works well for meal planning when you need a quick, impressive dessert for a potluck.
