Make this creamy, layered Oreo Dirt Cake without turning on your oven. This easy, no-bake dessert uses crushed Oreos, chocolate pudding, and a cream cheese filling, making it a perfect make-ahead treat for parties or 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 powdered sugar
  • 1 container (12 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed
  • 2 packages (3.9 ounces each) instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 3 cups cold milk
  • 1 container (8 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed (for topping)
  • Gummy worms, for decoration

Instructions

  1. Crush all Oreo cookies until they resemble fine dirt. Set aside 1 cup of the crushed cookies for the final layer.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, softened butter, and powdered sugar together until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  3. Fold in one container of the thawed whipped topping until just combined. This is your cream cheese layer.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and cold milk for about two minutes, or until the mixture begins to thicken. Let it stand for five minutes.
  5. Gently fold the thickened chocolate pudding into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
  6. In a large trifle dish or 9×13 inch pan, begin layering the dessert. Place half of the remaining crushed Oreos on the bottom.
  7. Spread half of the chocolate cream cheese mixture evenly over the cookie layer.
  8. Repeat the layers: add the remaining crushed Oreos, followed by the remaining chocolate cream cheese mixture.
  9. Spread the second container of thawed whipped topping evenly over the top layer.
  10. Sprinkle the reserved 1 cup of crushed Oreos over the whipped topping to create the final ‘dirt’ layer.
  11. Press gummy worms into the top layer for decoration.
  12. Cover the dish and chill in the refrigerator for at least four hours, or preferably overnight, before serving.

Notes

  • For individual servings, assemble this recipe in small clear cups to create ‘Dirt Cups’.
  • If you do not have gummy worms, you can use chocolate-covered raisins or malted milk balls for extra texture on top.
  • Use whole Oreos, filling and all, for the best flavor in the cookie crumbs.
