Description
A simple, creamy, no-bake layered dessert made with crushed Oreos, chocolate pudding, and whipped topping, perfect for parties.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package (14.3 oz) Oreo cookies
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, 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
- Gummy worms for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Crush all Oreo cookies until they resemble fine dirt. Set aside 1 cup of the crumbs for topping.
- Mix the remaining crushed Oreos with the melted butter. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish. Place the dish in the freezer for 10 minutes.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth. Fold in half of the thawed whipped topping until just combined. Spread this cream cheese layer evenly over the chilled crust.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and cold milk for 2 minutes until it begins to thicken. Let it stand for 5 minutes.
- Gently spread the chocolate pudding mixture over the cream cheese layer.
- Top the pudding layer with the remaining half of the whipped topping, spreading it evenly.
- Sprinkle the reserved 1 cup of crushed Oreo crumbs over the top layer.
- If using, press gummy worms into the top layer to resemble worms coming out of the dirt.
- Chill the dirt cake for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, before serving.
Notes
- You can make individual servings by layering the ingredients in small cups instead of a large dish.
- For a richer flavor, substitute 1/2 cup of the milk with strong cold coffee when making the pudding.
- If you do not have a 9×13 dish, this recipe works well in a large trifle bowl for a layered presentation.
