Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package (about 9 oz) Oreo cookies (or chocolate sandwich cookies), crushed
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups vanilla pudding (instant or homemade)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream, whipped to stiff peaks
- Gummy worms, for garnish
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine crushed Oreo cookies and melted butter; press about 2/3 of the mixture into the bottom of a 9×13″ baking dish to form the “dirt” crust.
- In another bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
- Fold in vanilla pudding until fully combined.
- Gently fold in whipped cream until light and fluffy.
- Spread the pudding‑cream mixture evenly over the cookie crust.
- Sprinkle remaining crushed cookies on top to resemble dirt.
- Decorate with gummy worms poking out of the top layer.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving to set.
Notes
- For deeper ‘dirt’, use a taller dish or double the crust layer.
- Mix pudding with whipped cream for a lighter, mousse‑like texture.
- Substitute chocolate pudding for a richer taste.
- Let chill time be at least 2 hours, overnight is even better.
- Great for Halloween or kids’ parties—add candy insects, if desired.
