Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 25 cookies Chocolate sandwich cookies (e.g., Oreo)
- 2 boxes Instant chocolate pudding mix (3.9 oz box)
- 4 cups Milk
- 8 oz Cream cheese
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 16 oz Whipped topping (e.g., Cool Whip), thawed
- 12 pieces Gummy worms (optional, for decoration)
Instructions
Place the chocolate sandwich cookies in a food processor and pulse until finely crushed. If you don't have a food processor, place the cookies in a resealable plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and milk until smooth and thickened. This will take about 2 minutes. Set aside to allow it to fully set.
In another mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Add the powdered sugar and beat until well combined.
Fold the whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated and fluffy.
Gently fold the prepared chocolate pudding into the cream cheese and whipped topping mixture until smooth. This will create your pudding layer.
To assemble, layer half of the crushed cookies into the bottom of a 9x13-inch dish or individual cups, spreading evenly to create the 'dirt' base.
Spread the pudding mixture evenly over the layer of crushed cookies.
Top with the remaining crushed cookies to create the 'dirt' topping.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let the layers settle and the dessert chill.
Before serving, decorate with gummy worms for a playful and fun touch. Serve chilled.
