Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 packages (3.4 oz each) Chocolate instant pudding mix
- 4 cups Cold milk
- 8 oz Cream cheese (softened)
- 4 tbsp Butter (softened)
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 12 oz Whipped topping (e.g., Cool Whip)
- 16 whole cookies Chocolate sandwich cookies (e.g., Oreos)
- 12 pieces Gummy worms (optional)
Instructions
Prepare the pudding: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chocolate instant pudding mix and cold milk. Whisk for 2 minutes until the pudding thickens. Set aside in the refrigerator.
Make the cream cheese mixture: In another large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, softened butter, and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy using a hand mixer.
Fold in the whipped topping: Gently fold the whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture until completely combined. Be careful not to deflate the whipped topping.
Crush the cookies: Place the chocolate sandwich cookies in a food processor and pulse until they form fine crumbs. Set aside. (Alternatively, place the cookies in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin.)
Layer the dessert: In a 9x13-inch dish or individual serving cups, create layers starting with a layer of cookies, followed by the cream cheese mixture, then the prepared chocolate pudding. Repeat the layers, ending with a cookie crumb layer on top.
Decorate: Place gummy worms on the top layer of cookie crumbs for a fun and playful touch.
Chill the dessert: Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve: Scoop the dessert into bowls or serve directly in the cups. Enjoy your delicious and whimsical Dirt Dessert!
