Description
Make this super fun and easy no-bake Oreo dirt cake. It features rich, creamy chocolate pudding layers and crushed Oreos, perfect for your next gathering or family treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup confectioners’ sugar
- 1 container (12 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed
- 2 packages (3.9 ounces each) instant chocolate pudding mix
- 3 cups cold milk
- 1 package (14.3 ounces) Oreo cookies, crushed
- Gummy worms for decoration
Instructions
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, softened butter, and confectioners’ sugar until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping until just combined. Set this cream layer aside.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and cold milk for about two minutes, or until the mixture begins to thicken.
- To assemble the dirt cake, use a large trifle dish or a 9×13 inch pan. Start by placing one-third of the crushed Oreo cookies on the bottom layer.
- Spread half of the cream cheese mixture evenly over the Oreo layer.
- Pour half of the prepared chocolate pudding mixture over the cream layer.
- Repeat the layers: add another third of the crushed Oreos, the remaining cream cheese mixture, and the remaining chocolate pudding.
- Top the entire dessert with the remaining crushed Oreos to create the ‘dirt’ effect.
- Press gummy worms lightly into the top layer of ‘dirt’ for decoration.
- Cover the dish and chill in the refrigerator for at least four hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the layers to set properly.
Notes
- For the best texture, crush the Oreos finely, leaving some slightly larger chunks for variety.
- You can make this a make ahead dessert; it tastes even better the next day.
- If you are serving this in individual cups, layer the ingredients similarly for fun dirt cup recipes.
