Create this classic, creamy, no-bake Oreo Dirt Cake. This layered pudding dessert uses simple ingredients and is perfect for parties or family gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (14.3 ounce) package Oreo cookies
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 (12 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
  • 2 (3.9 ounce) packages instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 3 cups cold milk
  • 1 package gummy worms (optional, for decoration)

Instructions

  1. Crush all Oreo cookies in a food processor until they resemble fine dirt. Set aside 1 cup of the crushed cookies for topping later.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until smooth.
  3. Gradually beat in the powdered sugar until fully combined.
  4. Fold in the thawed whipped topping until the mixture is uniform and creamy.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and cold milk for about two minutes until the mixture begins to thicken.
  6. Gently fold the pudding mixture into the cream cheese mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. In a large, clear serving dish or individual cups, begin layering the dessert. Start with a layer of the remaining crushed Oreos.
  8. Top the cookie layer with half of the chocolate cream mixture.
  9. Add another layer of crushed Oreos over the cream layer.
  10. Top with the remaining chocolate cream mixture.
  11. Sprinkle the reserved 1 cup of crushed Oreos over the top layer to resemble dirt.
  12. If using, press gummy worms into the top layer for decoration.
  13. Cover the dish and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the dessert to set properly.

Notes

  • For the best texture, crush the Oreos finely; you want them to look like soil.
  • You can make this dessert ahead of time; chilling overnight improves the flavor and firmness.
  • If you prefer individual servings, layer the ingredients in small clear cups for fun dirt cups.
