Make this fun, layered Oreo dirt cake. It is a simple, no-bake dessert featuring creamy chocolate pudding and crushed Oreos, perfect for potlucks and family gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (14.3 ounces) Oreo cookies
  • 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 (10 ounces) gummy worms (optional for decoration)

Instructions

  1. Crush all the Oreo cookies until they resemble fine dirt. Set aside about 1 cup of the crumbs for the top layer.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and softened butter together until smooth. Gradually add the confectioners’ sugar and mix until fully combined.
  3. Fold in the thawed whipped topping until the mixture is light and fluffy. This creates your creamy filling layer.
  4. 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.
  5. Assemble the dirt cake in a large trifle dish or 9×13 inch pan. Create the first layer using half of the remaining crushed Oreos.
  6. Spread half of the cream cheese mixture evenly over the Oreo layer.
  7. Spoon half of the prepared chocolate pudding over the cream cheese layer.
  8. Repeat the layers: remaining crushed Oreos, remaining cream cheese mixture, and remaining chocolate pudding.
  9. Cover the dish and chill in the refrigerator for at least four hours, or until firm.
  10. Before serving, sprinkle the reserved 1 cup of crushed Oreos over the top layer to resemble fresh dirt.
  11. If using, press gummy worms into the top layer for decoration. Serve this easy dessert recipe no oven treat cold.

Notes

  • For individual servings, layer the ingredients in small plastic cups to make dirt cups with gummy worms.
  • You can substitute the instant pudding with homemade chocolate pastry cream for a richer flavor.
  • Make this quick make ahead dessert the day before serving for the best texture.
