Ingredients
Dirt Pudding Layers
- 1 package (3.9 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix
- 2 cups cold milk
- 1 container (8 oz) frozen whipped topping, thawed
- 15 Oreo cookies, crushed
- Gummy worms for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Pudding: In a large bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and cold milk for about 2 minutes until the mixture thickens.
- Fold in Whipped Topping: Gently fold the thawed whipped topping into the pudding until smooth and creamy, creating a fluffy chocolate mousse-like base.
- Layer the Dessert: In a clear serving dish or individual cups, start by sprinkling a layer of crushed Oreos at the bottom to resemble soil. Add a layer of the pudding mixture on top, then repeat layering until all ingredients are used, finishing with a final sprinkle of crushed Oreos on top.
- Add Gummy Worms: Decorate the top of the dessert by placing several gummy worms partially submerged into the crushed Oreos to mimic worms in dirt.
- Chill: Refrigerate the assembled Dirt Pudding for at least 1 hour to allow it to set and flavors to meld beautifully before serving.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use whole milk instead of low-fat milk.
- You can substitute the gummy worms with other fun candy shapes, like gummy bugs, for different occasions.
- This dessert is best served chilled and should be consumed within 2 days for optimal freshness.
- Crushing the Oreos finely helps create a more realistic dirt texture.
