Dirt Cup Pudding Dessert
A nostalgic and playful dessert that combines layers of chocolate pudding and crushed chocolate sandwich cookies, topped with gummy worms for a fun presentation.
Ingredients
- 1 package (approx. 14 oz) Chocolate Sandwich Cookies, crushed
- 2 packages (3.9 oz each) Instant Chocolate Pudding Mix
- 3 cups Cold Whole Milk
- 8 oz Whipped Topping or Fresh Whipped Cream
- 1/4 cup Unsalted Butter, melted and cooled (optional)
- 8 oz Cream Cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup Powdered Sugar
- 1 package Gummy Worms
Instructions
- Crush the chocolate sandwich cookies in a zip-top bag until they resemble fine soil.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and cold whole milk for about two minutes until thickened.
- In another bowl, cream together the softened cream cheese, melted butter, and powdered sugar until smooth.
- Fold the cream cheese mixture into the chocolate pudding until well combined.
- Gently fold in the whipped topping or fresh whipped cream.
- Layer cookie crumbs at the bottom of serving cups, followed by the chocolate pudding mixture, and repeat layers, finishing with cookie crumbs on top.
- Press gummy worms into the top layer and refrigerate for at least two hours before serving.
Notes
Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature to avoid lumps. Use cold milk for quick setting. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
