Make this easy, no-bake Oreo Dirt Cake featuring creamy layers of pudding, cream cheese filling, and crushed Oreos. It is a classic American dessert perfect for parties or as individual dirt cups with gummy worms.

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. Separate the Oreo cookies. Place the cream filling aside. Place the cookie wafers into a large zip-top bag and crush them finely using a rolling pin until they resemble dirt. Set aside about 2 cups of the crushed cookies for the top 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.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and cold milk until the mixture thickens, about 2 minutes.
  5. Gently fold the pudding mixture into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
  6. To assemble the dirt cake in a 9×13 inch dish, spread half of the remaining crushed Oreos on the bottom.
  7. Spread half of the creamy filling mixture evenly over the cookie layer.
  8. Repeat the layers: remaining crushed Oreos, then the remaining creamy filling.
  9. Cover the dish and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the layers to set.
  10. Before serving, spread the second container of thawed whipped topping over the top layer. Sprinkle the reserved 2 cups of crushed Oreos over the whipped topping to create the ‘dirt’ effect.
  11. Insert gummy worms into the top layer for decoration. Serve cold.

Notes

  • For individual servings, layer the ingredients in clear plastic cups to make ‘Dirt Cups’.
  • You can substitute vanilla pudding for chocolate pudding if you prefer a lighter cream layer.
  • If you do not have time to chill overnight, chill for a minimum of 4 hours before serving.
