Description

Oreo Cookie Dirt Cup Pudding is a playful, nostalgic dessert featuring creamy chocolate pudding, crunchy Oreo ‘dirt,’ and wriggly gummy worms. It’s quick to assemble, kid-friendly, and perfect for parties or classroom celebrations.

Ingredients

Scale

2 boxes (3.9 oz each) instant chocolate pudding mix
4 cups cold milk (whole or 2%)
1 tub (8 oz) whipped topping (e.g., Cool Whip, thawed)
20 Oreo cookies (crushed)
Gummy worms (1-2 per cup)
Optional: mini chocolate chips, sprinkles, candy rocks

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine instant chocolate pudding mix and cold milk. Whisk for about 2 minutes until thickened, or beat with a hand mixer on medium speed for 1 minute. Let sit for 5 minutes if needed to firm up.
Fold in thawed whipped topping gently until fully blended and fluffy. Do not overmix.
Crush Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a zip-top bag and smashing with a rolling pin.
Spoon about 1/3 cup pudding mixture into each clear cup. Tap gently to level.
Sprinkle with a generous layer of Oreo crumbs (about 2 tablespoons per cup). Add another layer of pudding, then top with more Oreo crumbs.
Push 1–2 gummy worms into the top layer of Oreo crumbs. Add optional decorations if desired.
Chill assembled dirt cups in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to set.
Before serving, check that pudding is set and add extra Oreo crumbs if needed.

Notes

For best texture, crush Oreos just before assembling. Use very cold milk for pudding. Make ahead up to a day, but add Oreo crumbs and toppings right before serving for crunch. Gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan adaptations are easy with ingredient swaps. Let kids decorate their own cups for a fun activity.
