Servings 6 to 8 cups
Equipment
- Food processor
- Clear cups
Ingredients
- 1 pack chocolate Oreo cookies
- 1 stick unsalted, melted butter
- 2 packets instant chocolate pudding mix
- 1 block softened cream cheese
- 3 ¼ cups cold whole milk
- 8 oz refrigerated cool whip
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a food processor, add 1 pack of chocolate Oreo cookies and mix until it has a smooth, grain-like consistency. Next, add 1 stick of unsalted, melted and cooled butter into the cookie mix. Blend in food processor until it is well combined.
- Next in a large bowl, add 2 packets instant chocolate pudding mix and 3 ¼ cup cold whole milk. Mix consistently as listed on the packing until the milk and powder combine.
- Once the pudding is well combined, add 1 block softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and cool whip. Mix until it is well combined.
- Assemble the dessert in clear cups for serving. Add bottom layer of cookie mix, press cookie mixture down so it creates an even layer, next add layer of pudding.
- Repeat that step until it reaches the top of the cup. Final layer should be the cookie mixture.
- Garnish with gummy worms, halloween-themed sprinkles or assorted candies.
- Serve chilled.
Notes
- Let the melted butter cool for a few minutes before adding it to the cookie crumbs so it does not make the Oreos greasy.
- Use cold milk for the pudding. Cold milk helps instant pudding set up thick and creamy.
- Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened so it mixes into the pudding smoothly without lumps.
- Keep the dirt cups covered in the refrigerator until you are ready to serve, and add gummy worms and candy right before serving so they stay soft and bright.
