Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 36 pieces Chocolate sandwich cookies
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 2 3.9-ounce packets Instant vanilla pudding mix
- 3.5 cups Milk
- 12 ounces Whipped topping (e.g., Cool Whip), thawed
- 10 pieces Gummy worms (optional, for decoration)
Instructions
Place the chocolate sandwich cookies in a food processor and pulse until finely crushed. Alternatively, place the cookies in a resealable plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until smooth and creamy.
Gradually add the powdered sugar to the cream cheese mixture, beating until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and milk for about 2 minutes, until thickened.
Fold the prepared pudding into the cream cheese mixture until thoroughly combined and smooth.
Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping until fully incorporated.
Layer the dessert in a 9x13-inch dish or individual serving cups. Start with a layer of crushed cookies at the bottom, followed by a layer of the creamy pudding mixture. Repeat the layers, finishing with a layer of crushed cookies on top.
Optionally, decorate the top with gummy worms for a playful dirt-and-worms theme.
Refrigerate the dirt cake for at least 2 hours before serving to allow it to set.
Serve chilled and enjoy!
