Description
Dirt Pudding Dessert Cups are a playful and indulgent treat made with layers of chocolate pudding, whipped cream, and crushed cookies, topped with gummy worms to create a fun, earthy look. Perfect for parties, kids’ events, or any occasion!
Ingredients
- 1 package (3.9 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix
- 2 ½ cups milk
- 1 container (8 oz) whipped topping (such as Cool Whip)
- 1 package (14 oz) Oreos (or any chocolate sandwich cookie), crushed
- 10–12 gummy worms (for garnish)
Instructions
Prepare the pudding: In a large bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and milk for about 2 minutes, or until the pudding begins to thicken. Let it sit for a few minutes to firm up.
- Layer the dessert: Spoon a layer of pudding (about 2 tablespoons per cup) into small cups or mason jars.
- Add whipped topping: Top the pudding with a generous dollop of whipped topping and smooth it evenly.
- Crush the cookies: Crush the Oreos into fine crumbs using a rolling pin or food processor. Sprinkle a layer of crushed Oreos over the whipped topping, pressing gently to stick.
- Repeat the layers: Add another layer of pudding, followed by whipped topping and crushed Oreos. Continue layering until the cups are filled.
- Garnish: Finish by sprinkling the remaining crushed Oreos on top and garnishing with gummy worms.
- Chill and serve: Refrigerate for 1-2 hours before serving. Serve cold.
Notes
- Dirt Pudding can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 2-3 days.
- If you prefer homemade whipped cream, use heavy cream with powdered sugar for a fluffy topping.
- Feel free to use different cookies, such as graham crackers or chocolate cookies other than Oreos.
- To make this dessert gluten-free, use gluten-free cookies and ensure the pudding mix is gluten-free.
- Add fruit like strawberries or raspberries for a fresh twist between layers.
- Store gummy worms separately until serving to prevent them from becoming soggy.
