Description

This delicious Dirt Pudding is a fun and creamy no-bake dessert featuring layers of chocolate pudding, whipped cream, and crushed Oreos, topped with gummy worms for a playful touch. Perfect for parties and kids’ gatherings, it’s easy to prepare and sure to delight.


Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Pudding

  • 2 (3.5-oz.) packages instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 3 cups whole milk

Whipped Cream

  • 2 cups cold heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract

Other Ingredients

  • 1 (14-oz.) package Oreos, crushed, divided (about 2 cups)
  • Gummy worms, for garnish


Instructions

  1. Prepare the pudding: In a large bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and milk until fully combined. Let the mixture sit for about 3 minutes to thicken.
  2. Make the whipped cream: Using a stand mixer with the whisk attachment or a hand mixer in a large bowl, beat the cold heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form, which ensures the whipped cream holds its shape.
  3. Combine pudding and whipped cream: Gently fold the whipped cream and about one-third of the crushed Oreos into the thickened chocolate pudding mixture until evenly incorporated, maintaining a light and fluffy texture.
  4. Assemble the dessert: Divide the pudding mixture between serving cups or transfer it into a trifle dish. Garnish each serving generously with the remaining crushed Oreos and add gummy worms on top for a fun, decorative finish.

Notes

  • For a lighter version, you can use reduced-fat milk and whipping cream substitutes.
  • Chilling the pudding mixture before assembling can enhance the dessert’s texture and flavor.
  • Use different cookie varieties or candy for creative variations of this dessert.
  • Prepare the dessert a few hours ahead and refrigerate to let flavors meld better.
