Description

A no-bake dessert featuring layers of creamy pudding, whipped topping, and crushed cookies resembling dirt, perfect for parties and gatherings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (18-20 oz) chocolate sandwich cookies
  • 2 small boxes of instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 2 cups cold milk
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 8 oz whipped topping
  • Gummy worms (optional)

Instructions

  1. Crush the cookies in a food processor or zip-top bag until fine crumbs are formed. Reserve about 1 cup for the top.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk cold milk into instant pudding and let it thicken for 5 minutes in the fridge.
  3. Beat softened cream cheese, butter, and powdered sugar until smooth. Fold in whipped topping gently.
  4. Stir the pudding into the cream mixture until fully blended; avoid overmixing.
  5. Layer thick cookie crumbs in the bottom of a 9×13 inch pan. Add creamy filling and smooth it out. Top with remaining cookie crumbs.
  6. Chill the dessert for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight. Add gummy worms before serving.

Notes

For variations, consider themed toppings like gummy worms, mini marshmallows, or alternative pudding flavors. Keep refrigerated and store up to 3 days.
