Make this easy Oreo Dirt Cake, a no-bake layered dessert featuring crushed Oreos, creamy pudding, and whipped topping. It is a family favorite perfect for parties.

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
  • Optional: Gummy worms for decoration

Instructions

  1. Crush all Oreo cookies in a food processor or by placing them in a zip-top bag and crushing them with a rolling pin. Set aside about 1 cup of the crushed cookies for the top layer.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and mix until fully combined.
  3. Fold in the thawed whipped topping until the mixture is uniform.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and cold milk for about 2 minutes until the mixture begins to thicken.
  5. Gently fold the pudding mixture into the cream cheese and whipped topping mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. In a large trifle dish or 9×13 inch pan, begin layering the dessert. Start with a layer of crushed Oreos (about one-third of the total).
  7. Spread half of the creamy pudding mixture evenly over the Oreo layer.
  8. Add another layer of crushed Oreos (about one-third).
  9. Spread the remaining half of the creamy pudding mixture over the second Oreo layer.
  10. Top the entire dessert with the remaining crushed Oreos to resemble dirt.
  11. Cover the dish and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the layers to set.
  12. Before serving, press gummy worms into the top layer if desired.

Notes

  • For the best texture, use a mix of finely crushed Oreos for the filling layers and slightly coarser crumbs for the top ‘dirt’ layer.
  • If you are planning ahead, this dessert tastes best when chilled for 8 hours or overnight.
  • This recipe is simple enough that you do not need complex meal planning; it is a great last-minute option.
