Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 (12 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
  • 2 (3.4 ounce) packages instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 3 cups cold milk
  • 1 (14.3 ounce) package Oreo cookies, crushed (about 40 cookies)
  • Optional: Gummy worms for decoration

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, softened butter, and powdered sugar together until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  2. Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping until just combined. Set this creamy layer aside.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and cold milk for two minutes until the mixture thickens.
  4. Crush the Oreo cookies until they resemble coarse dirt. You can do this in a food processor or by placing them in a sealed bag and crushing them with a rolling pin. Set aside about 1 cup of the crushed cookies for the top layer.
  5. To assemble the dirt cake, spread half of the crushed Oreos in the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  6. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the layer of crushed Oreos.
  7. Pour the prepared chocolate pudding evenly over the cream cheese layer.
  8. Top the pudding layer with the remaining crushed Oreos, reserving about 1 cup for the final decoration.
  9. Cover the dish and chill in the refrigerator for at least four hours, or until firm.
  10. Before serving, sprinkle the reserved crushed Oreos over the top layer. Add gummy worms if you are using them for decoration.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use the cookies & cream instant pudding mix instead of plain chocolate.
  • If you do not have cream cheese, you can substitute it with an equal amount of softened butter and increase the powdered sugar slightly.
  • You can make this dessert in individual clear cups for fun, single-serving dirt pudding treats.
