Description
This is a simple, no-bake layered dessert featuring crushed Oreos and a creamy filling, perfect for parties or family gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package (14.3 ounces) Oreo cookies
- 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
- Gummy worms for decoration (optional)
Instructions
- Crush all Oreo cookies in a food processor or by placing them in a sealed bag and crushing them with a rolling pin. Set aside about 1 cup of crumbs for topping.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and softened butter together until smooth.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar to the cream cheese mixture and beat until fully combined.
- Fold in the thawed whipped topping until the mixture is uniform.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and cold milk for about two minutes until it begins to thicken.
- Gently fold the pudding mixture into the cream cheese mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
- In a large trifle dish or 9×13 inch pan, create the first layer by spreading half of the crushed Oreos on the bottom.
- Spread half of the creamy filling mixture over the cookie layer.
- Repeat the layers: remaining cookies, then remaining filling.
- Cover the dish and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow it to set.
- Before serving, sprinkle the reserved 1 cup of crushed Oreos over the top layer to resemble dirt. Add gummy worms if desired.
Notes
- You can make this dessert in individual cups instead of one large dish for easy serving; these are often called Dirt Cups.
- For the best texture, ensure your cream cheese and butter are fully softened before mixing.
- Chill time is important; the longer it chills, the firmer the layers become.
