Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (14.3 ounces) Oreo cookies, finely crushed
  • 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 container (12 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed
  • 2 packages (3.9 ounces each) instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 3 cups cold milk
  • 1 container (8 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed (for topping)
  • Gummy worms, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Place about 1 cup of the crushed Oreo cookies into a separate bowl and set aside for the topping.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, softened butter, and powdered sugar together until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  3. Fold in one container of the thawed whipped topping until just combined. This is your cream cheese layer.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and cold milk for about two minutes, or until the mixture begins to thicken.
  5. Gently fold the thickened chocolate pudding into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
  6. In a large trifle dish or 9×13 inch pan, create the first layer by spreading half of the remaining crushed Oreos on the bottom.
  7. Spread half of the creamy chocolate mixture evenly over the Oreo layer.
  8. Repeat the layers: spread the remaining crushed Oreos over the cream cheese layer, then top with the remaining chocolate mixture.
  9. Spread the second container of thawed whipped topping evenly over the top layer.
  10. Sprinkle the reserved 1 cup of crushed Oreos over the whipped topping to resemble dirt.
  11. Press gummy worms into the top layer so they appear to be sticking out of the ‘dirt’.
  12. Cover the dish and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, before serving.

Notes

  • For individual servings, assemble this recipe in small clear cups to create fun Dirt Cups with gummy worms.
  • If you need a quicker set time, you can chill the dessert for 1 hour, then place it in the freezer for 30 minutes before serving.
  • You can substitute vanilla pudding for chocolate pudding if you prefer a lighter cream layer.
