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

  1. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, softened butter, and confectioners’ sugar until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  2. Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping until just combined. Set this cream layer aside.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Spread half of the cream cheese mixture evenly over the Oreo layer.
  6. Pour half of the prepared chocolate pudding mixture over the cream layer.
  7. Repeat the layers: add another third of the crushed Oreos, the remaining cream cheese mixture, and the remaining chocolate pudding.
  8. Top the entire dessert with the remaining crushed Oreos to create the ‘dirt’ effect.
  9. Press gummy worms lightly into the top layer of ‘dirt’ for decoration.
  10. 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.
